High-frequency data implies that the growth momentum from December quarter 2021 carried over into the first four months of this year, according to Moody's Global Macro Outlook 2022-23.

Indian economy: Moody's slashes growth forecast to 8.8% for 2022

The friction between the RBI and the Finance Ministry was attributed to the recalcitrance of Patel, who appeared keen to be seen as a defiant, independent-minded governor of high credibility by resisting the government's call for increased transparency on the central bank's reserves (just how much is necessary for stability operations) and for enhanced liquidity so that credit can be eased to money-strapped sectors especially MSMEs.&nbsp;

The issues dogging the telcos are unlikely to subside near-term even though consolidation offers some consolation from a long term perspective, says a report.

No near-term end seen for telecos long tunnel of pains: Report

&nbsp;After more than a decade, India witnessed first upgrade by Moody's Investor service on its economic outlook. This is expected to be followed by another two major rating agencies.

Moody's upgrade for India positive, but short-term reality, risks remain

In an interview to PTI, Moody's Investors Service V-P (Sovereign Risk Group) William Foster said the agency believes that the government's commitment to fiscal consolidation remains and sustained growth would help it reduce debt burden.

Budget deficit may rise in FY18, but will improve in years

On June 2, Anil Ambani led RCom, addressing a press conference, said that the company presented its debt payment plan to its lenders who approved it given the company time till December 2017 to pay the loans due.

Despite getting debt payment relief, Moody's keep "negative" outlook for RCom

Data show that although from October to November 2016 saw an over Rs 30,000 crore rise in deposits in Jan Dhan accounts, withdrawals are slowly inching up,&nbsp;

Cash balance in Jan Dhan accounts at its lowest since October

HDFC Bank in one of its report said, “With the surge in deposits growth from 9.8% in 1H-FY17 to around 13% in 2H-FY17, commercial banks in India are at the moment flush with liquidity. After a spurt in deposits post-demonetisation, there is now a trend-reversal underway.”

RBI data show that Indians are rushing to withdraw cash as demonetisation pain eases 

Progress on the pending Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's 2017 budget speech to parliament both underscore the government's commitment to reform in the wake of demonetisation.

Demonetisation likely to be credit positive for India, Moody's says

Though, the deal will still be credit positive, but, any unexpected adverse regulatory developments in any of Bharti's key markets will be negative for the rating.

On January 27, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Andhra Pradesh Government.

ONGC's $11.5 billion Andhra investment may put cash flows under pressure: Moody's

Saranga Ranasinghe a Moody's Assitant Vice President and analysts said, “The downgrades reflects our expectation that the operating environment for the Indian real estate sector will continue to remain weak post the demonetisation exercise that tool place in November 2016. Weak operating conditions will continue to pressure LDPL's sales performance over the next 12-18 months.”

Moody's downgrade Lodha Developers rating to B2

Annalisa Di Chiara a Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer said,”The downgrade primarily reflects our expectation that RCom's leverage, as measured by consolidated debt/EBITDA (including Moody's adjustment for spectrum liabilities) will remain above 7x over the next 6-9 months while the company pursues regulatory, shareholder and debt holder approvals for its announced restructuring, including the de-merger of its wireless business and sale of its tower assets.”

Credit outlook under pressure if RCom doesn't reduce debt soon: Moody's 

The authorities accused the credit rating agency of overvaluing the ratings of securities backed by subprime mortgages or at-risk loans at the center of the country`s worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

In a statement, Moody`s Investors Service said the capacity of governments to implement measures and the effectiveness of policies in achieving the respective governments` objectives would shape the sovereigns` credit profiles over the coming year.

Reforms in India to boost medium term growth: Moody's

Laura Acres, Managing Director in Moody's Corporate Finance Group said, Strong GDP growth, capacity additions and stabilizing commodity prices will support EBITDA growth of 6%-12% over the next 12-18 months,"&nbsp;

Stable outlook of Indian corporates will bring sustained economic growth further: Moody's 

Since storming to power in 2014, Modi has unveiled measures to boost investment, cool inflation and narrow the fiscal and current account deficits, but his policies have not been rewarded with a ratings upgrade from any of the "big three" global ratings agencies, who say more is needed.

How India lobbied Moody's for ratings upgrade, but failed

Moody feels there is still lack of &nbsp;clarity on the cash flow generating capabilities of some of Rcom's remaining businesses, as the resulting leverage or cash flow positions following its restructuring can only be estimated within wide bounds.&nbsp;

Kaustubh Chaubal, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst said, "The drive for overseas expansion comes amid the consolidation of the global pharmaceutical industry, as drug companies look to boost their product and pipeline diversity, scale and pricing power."

M&A activity to fuel growth for India's pharma sector

Kaustubh Chaubal, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst said,&nbsp;"We expect that Tata Sons can continue to extend support to its key operating companies, should the need arise, owing to its substantial cash holdings and the significant value of its listed equity investments, and despite an ongoing boardroom reshuffle."

Board fights will have no impact on Tata Group, Moody's says
