International rating agency Fitch today changed the rating outlook on India's sovereign ratings from 'stable' to 'negative' citing well-flagged concerns about fiscal policy, privatisation, deterioration in the foreign investment climate and the Enron fracas. Fitch currently rates the foreign and local currency obligations of India 'BB+' and 'BBB-' respectively.
