   Paris, May 2 (Jiji Press)--The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on Thursday revised up its global economic growth forecast for 2024 to 3.1 pct, a rise of 0.2 percentage point from its previous projection in February.

   For India, which logged faster-than-expected growth late last year, the organization raised its outlook to 6.6 pct, up 0.4 point.
   The outlook for China was revised up by 0.2 point to 4.9 pct.
