In contrast, UBS Securities has upgraded its forecast to 6.4%, up from 6%, driven by stronger domestic demand, hopes of a US-India trade deal, and stable global crude oil prices.

Indian Railways will introduce mandatory e-Aadhaar authentication for Tatkal ticket bookings later this month to curb misuse, ticket scalping, and improve access for genuine passengers.
Passengers must verify their identity digitally using e-Aadhaar at the time of booking, making the process more transparent and reducing fraudulent transactions.
IRCTC account holders linked with Aadhaar will get booking priority during the first 10 minutes of the Tatkal window, while even authorized agents will not be allowed to book tickets during this time.
Tatkal tickets make up about 20% of total bookings and are usually sold out within 10 minutes, so this move aims to help genuine last-minute travelers secure confirmed seats.
