Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman clarified that the IMF did not question India's growth figures, attributing the 'C' grade on national accounts to an outdated base year. India will shift to a 2022-23 base year in 2026, addressing the IMF's concern. The Fund acknowledged India's healthy economic performance and resilience.
