Mumbai, July 19: A recovery in developed markets later this year will boost India's flagging economy, but growth will be lacklustre at best as the RBI refrains from cutting interest rates in order to keep a battered rupee currency from falling further.

The latest Reuters poll of over 30 analysts showed Asia's third largest economy is expected to grow 5.6 per cent in the fiscal year ending March 2014, compared to 6.0 per cent forecast in the previous poll in April.

The fiscal year ending March 2015 was forecast to show 6.5 per cent growth, down from a previous forecast of 6.9 per cent.

India, once considered a potential powerhouse for the global economy, has lost its sheen of late due to the slow pace of reforms, high inflation and a record wide current account deficit.

Growth slid to a decade low of 5 per cent in the last fiscal year.

"You'll have the euro zone probably moving out of recession later this year, growth in the United States we believe will pick up, growth in China will start to pick up as well, so India will see higher exports," said Jay Bryson, global economist at Wells Fargo Securities.

"But, we don't see it going back to where we were back before the crisis when India was consistently growing at seven, eight or nine per cent."

While the US economy is expected to pick up pace this year, Chinese growth is unlikely to gain traction next year as the government trades short-term growth for long-awaited reforms, according to other Reuters polls taken this month.

Having cut its policy repo rate three times this year, to bring the rate down to 7.25 per cent, the Reserve Bank of India is expected to leave rates unchanged until the October-December quarter, as it tries to bolster a rupee which hit a record low of 61.21 against the dollar last week.
