Covid impact: Economy unlikely to see double-digit growth in FY22

Rediff.com1 Jun 2021

The downward revision of growth projections to as low as 10 per cent is mostly on account of stringency in restrictions by states, relatively slow vaccination pace, and the possibility of a third wave of the pandemic.
