The Indian economy is expected to grow by 6 per cent in the current fiscal, over a percentage point below the government estimates, and slip further during the next year, said the Economist Intelligence Unit, a research arm of UK-based financial magazine The Economist.
"Economic growth will significantly slow down to 5 per cent in the coming financial year (2009-10)", said Anjalika Bardalai, senior editor-Asia of the EIU, at an interactive session on the global economic crisis.
