[1]India is trying to press for a ratings upgrade with officials at Fitch Ratings agency, who are in New Delhi to take stock of the economy, a government official said on Thursday.
"We pitched for an upgrade," a finance ministry official, told reporters after the meeting.
The Fitch visit came a day after the rupee tumbled to a record low against the dollar, as risk aversion in global markets added pressure on a currency already under fire from the country's weak current account and fiscal deficits.
In April, Standard & Poor's downgraded the outlook for India to negative from stable, citing poor fiscal health and deteriorating economic indicators.
