The Bad Part
The internals however will reflect a sharp slowdown and deep dive in the digits indicate a statistical jump vs a great demand revival. Q4 will mark the third straight quarter of decleration with the GDP likely to clock in at 3.4% for the January-March quarter. 

Could This Get Ugly?
With inflation sticking above the 6% mark for consumers for the next few months, economists are worried about a stagflation period. Where due to 'cost-up' inflation pressure will continue to rise on RBI which will raise rates which in turn will leave prices unscathed but damage a dwindling demand.
