GDP growth rate likely at 4.6% in December quarter: SBI economists

Economists at the State Bank of India (SBI) have projected a GDP growth of 4.6 per cent for the December quarter, citing that as many as 30 high frequency indicators are not as robust as they were in the previous quarters. However, the projection is higher than the Reserve Bank of India's forecast of 4.4 per cent for the third quarter of this fiscal.

This is because the government is anticipated to revise the GDP numbers for FY20, FY21 and FY22 on Februar
