NEW DELHI - A TOP Indian government panel cut its growth forecast for Asia's third-largest economy on Friday, blaming a battering from the global slowdown, and its chief said there was room for more cuts in interest rates.
In its review of the economy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Economic Advisory Council said expansion would slow to 7.1 per cent for the current fiscal year to end March, from a previous estimate of 7.7 per cent.
