Fitch retains India's BBB- rating, flags fiscal risks from youth unrest

Global ratings agency Fitch has retained India's BBB- sovereign credit rating, citing the country's strong economic growth outlook. However, the agency has flagged potential fiscal risks stemming from youth-led protests and social unrest.

Fitch's assessment balances India's macroeconomic fundamentals and growth trajectory against emerging vulnerabilities. The rating agency noted that sustained protest movements could create budgetary pressures on the government, particularly if they lead to increased public spending demands.
