Yet, India's central bank appeared to dismiss the negativity earlier this month and reiterated its bullish view of India's growth rate, still expecting the economy to grow by 7.2%.
However, when prompted on whether India's growth rate could compete with what China has already achieved for over two decades, the governor was less buoyant.
But if you are looking at 10-plus growth, before I venture into that, I have to really do my homework much more," Governor Das said.
This week, China's central bank, President Xi Jinping and other top leaders announced plans to boost the country's economy and attract investment.
If India intends to grow as fast as China did, it may have to get a move on.
