In a significant financial development, S&P Global Ratings elevated India's sovereign credit rating, citing the nation's strong economic growth and improved monetary policy framework.

This marks the first upgrade by a major agency from the lowest investment grade of 'BBB-'. The decision reflects India's commitment to fiscal consolidation and sustainable public finances.
