6. YEAR IN RETROSPECT AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

The financial year 2024-25 began on a promising note as supplies of goods were improving,
financial markets exuded greater optimism and globally central banks were steering their
economies towards a soft landing. In December 2024, President Trump sparked trade tensions
by targeting India’s high tariffs under his "America First Trade Policy". On 2nd April 2025 USA
announced reciprocal tariffs: a minimum flat 10% tariff on all imports from various countries
as well as country-specific rates mirroring foreign levies on US goods, citing unfair trade
practices and tariff asymmetry as threats to US economic stability. For India, a 26% duty on
exports to USA starting 9th April, 2025 was announced. However, in a significant shift from
his earlier aggressive stance, President Trump announced a 90 day pause on implementing
new reciprocal tariffs on India which meant 10 % flat duty on all imports, while maintaining
high tariffs on Chinese imports which has later been revised to 30% tariff for 90 days. This
signals a strategic reconsideration amidst global supply chain challenges and evolving
geopolitical priorities. For India, these developments could have a significant impact on exports
by various sectors like textiles, gems and jewellery etc.

Auto parts, steel, and aluminum are not covered in the recent tariff orders as they are already
subject to the Section 232 tariffs of 25% announced on 26 March 2025. Auto parts exports
for which the US is a key market, may face headwinds. India’s exports of semiconductor devices
to the US were approximately US$ 1.81 billion in 2023. Thus, acknowledging their critical
role in global supply chains, semiconductors have been exempted from these tariffs.

Amongst the global turmoil and near recessionary conditions in many countries, India remains
one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Reserve Bank of India in April 2025 has
projected India’s GDP growth rate for the financial year 2025-2026 at 6.5 % and has estimated
CPI inflation to come down in 2025-26 to 4 %. IMF has cut India's GDP Forecast To 6.2%
for 2025-26, which is lower than RBI's estimates for the financial year 2025-26.

India’s retail inflation has reduced from 5.4 per cent in 2023-24 to 4.9 per cent in 2024-25(April-
December), aided by various government initiatives and monetary policy measures. WPI
inflation eased to a nine-month low of 0.85% in April, down from 2.05% in March, driven
by falling fuel prices and moderated food inflation. IMD and Skymet have forecasted above
normal and normal monsoon respectively for India in 2025. Therefore, moderating inflation
pressures and forecast of normal monsoon have opened up possibility of interest rate cuts
in India in the second half of 2025-26 as well after two repo rate cuts of 25 basis points each
in last few months.

Our economy is growing at a fast pace and this is evidenced by highest GST revenue collection
for April 2025 at Rs. 2.37 lakh crores. This represents a significant 12.6% year on year growth
driven by a strong demand in domestic transactions (up 10.7%) and imports (up 20.8%). India’s
Industrial growth (IIP) for the financial year 2024-25 was at 4% compared to 5.9% for the
year 2023-24 which is expected to accelerate in 2025-26. Inspite of a record US $824.9
billion worth of exports in financial year 2024-25, India’s trade deficit widened to US$ 94.26
billion, as total imports rose by 6.85%, amounting to US$ 915.19 billion for the financial year.
India’s services exports grew at one of the fastest rates over the last 18 years and India’s
defence and electronics exports have risen rapidly.

India’s fiscal deficit in 2024-25 has come down to 4.8% of GDP and is estimated to come
down to around 4.4% in 2025-26. Inspite of geopolitical developments affecting crude prices,
India has managed its crude imports well by negotiating appropriate discounts from Russia
and other exporting countries.

Amidst this volatility, our banking and non-banking financial service sectors in India remain
healthy and is well governed by the Regulator. The Indian Rupee has also moved in an orderly
manner in the financial year 2024 - 25.

As per IMF, India is likely to become the third largest economy in 2027. Capital expenditure
has emerged as a key growth driver in India. Government has accelerated public sector capital
expenditure and private sector capital expenditure is now catching up. Capacity utilization
has now reached around 75 percent and corporates are considering setting up new capacities.
The Government has also come out with production linked incentive schemes in various
sectors which is boosting capital expenditure and manufacturing.

On April 22, 2025, in a devastating attack in Pahalgam, militants opened fire on tourists which
led to the tragic demise of civilians. In response to the terror attack, decisive action was taken
by India in destroying terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK. Pakistan approached India
for a ceasefire which India accepted and our markets moved up in the week thereafter also
aided by trade agreement between USA and China for a 90 day pause. BSE Sensex moved
up from 73,651 on 31st March 2024 to 77,415 on 31st March 2025, a rise of 5.11 %. FIIs
sold Rs. 3,99,939.69 crores worth of shares during 2024-25 as valuations became expensive
and funds moved to developed markets during the year.
