Global ratings agency has slashed India's growth outlook due to the raging covid&nbsp;crisis. S&amp;P now sees India growing only 9.8% vs 11% earlier and that is their moderate case assumption, in what the agency calls a 'severe' situation the recovery could falter further and India could possibly see only a 8.2% growth in the current year.&nbsp;
S&amp;P notes that "the pandemic is more than a year old and is only getting stronger. The severity of the crisis is challenging the country's fiscal settings, which were already weak before COVID struck" The rating agency also warns that&nbsp;India's&nbsp; banks continue to face high levels of systemic risk. In the moderate downside scenario, the Indian banking system's weak loans should remain elevated at 11%-12% of total loans.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
S&amp;P Ratings believes second #COVID wave may derail India's budding recovery. In the moderate case scenario, it assumes 1.2 percentage point hit to India's GDP in FY22 and in severe scenario, 2.8 percentage point hit to the GDP
Severe scenario holds that new infections peak in late June 2021
Severe&nbsp;scenario: Assume 2.8%age point&nbsp;hit to India's GDP in FY22
Severe&nbsp;scenario: See GDP at 8.2%&nbsp;for FY22 vs 11% forecast earlier
