In the last quarter of fiscal year 2019-2020, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fell to 4.5%.
Meanwhile, the government has predicted a 5 per cent GDP for the next quarter.
Just days ago, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its World Economic Outlook in Davos said the domestic demand in India reduced "more sharply than expected" apart from the stress in "non-bank financial sector" and a "decline in credit growth".
The IMF has put up a revised India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at 4.8% for 2019-2020.
