The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Wednesday, 11 December, trimmed its forecast for India’s economic growth in 2019-20 to 5.1 percent saying consumption was affected by slow job growth and rural distress aggravated by poor harvest.

In September, ADB forecast India’s GDP to grow 6.5 percent in 2019-20 and 7.2 percent in the year thereafter.
