The brokerage attributed the evident dichotomy between GDP growth estimates and the benchmark target to the easy monetary policy that the central bank has been pursuing since the beginning of the year.
The reduction in GDP growth estimate to 5.3 per cent from 6 per cent comes to amid a rash of similar actions, especially after the September quarter growth slowed to a 26- quarter low of 4.5 per cent.
Its Japanese peer Nomura has pegged the growth to come at 4.9 per cent for FY20, making it the lowest estimate among the analysts.

She said moderately better global economic conditions, softening domestic financial conditions which have been affected since the NBFC crisis, positive fiscal impulse where government is increasing spending and easing of supply bottlenecks make her confident of an increase in trajectory.
Mishra, who has worked in both the Reserve Bank and the finance ministry earlier, said there are early signs of also an early signs of economic stabilisation now.
