India finmin sees econ growth at 9 pct in next FY

NEW DELHI, July 6 (Reuters) - India can return to economic growth of 9 percent per annum in the next fiscal year, as its economic fundamentals remain strong, the finance minister said on Monday.

"Today India is on the path of high growth syndrome. Of course, there has been a blip this year," Pranab Mukherjee said. "But next year, I do hope we get back to 9 percent of GDP growth."

India's economy grew 6.7 percent in the fiscal year that ended on March 31, its slowest in the last six years.
