The Indian government is taking steps to help the economy achieve the FY25 GDP growth target of 6.5%-7%, the country's economic affairs secretary said on Monday.

India's potential GDP growth rate lies in the range of 6.5–7%, a target that is achievable due to extensive reforms implemented over the past decade, Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran said on Monday.

India's central bank is under increasing political pressure to cut interest rates as soon as this week, after data showed growth was much weaker than expected, but its firm focus on getting inflation down means it is unlikely to do so.
