Asked when the Council would revise its growth projection for the country, he said, "We brought out the outlook only in October. So we probably will do it in January."

However, belying predictions, the Indian economy grew by a significant 7.9 per cent in the second quarter of this fiscal, up from 6.1 per cent in the previous quarter, essentially due to a good showing by the industry and the services sector. Rangarajan, while commenting on the high growth in the second quarter, had said overall growth figure may have to be revised upward.
