India's Projected Economic Expansion

According to the World Bank, India is expected to grow at 6.7% in FY26 and FY27, continuing to be the fastest-growing major economy. This strong growth is fueled by the performance of the services and manufacturing sectors, backed by government reforms and enhanced infrastructure.

India is projected to remain the fastest-growing major economy, with a growth rate of 6.7% expected for both fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, according to the World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects report.

Current Economic Outlook

Growth Forecast: The World Bank has maintained India’s growth forecast at 6.7% for the next two fiscal years, highlighting the country’s strong economic performance.
Sectoral Performance: The services sector is expected to continue its growth, while manufacturing activity is set to strengthen, bolstered by government initiatives to improve logistics infrastructure and enhance the business environment through tax reforms.

Global Context

Global Growth Projections: The global economy is projected to grow at 2.7% in both 2025 and 2026, maintaining the pace seen in 2024, with inflation and interest rates gradually decreasing.
Regional Dynamics: In South Asia, GDP growth is expected to rise to 6.2% in 2025 and 2026, driven largely by India’s strong performance, compared to 6% growth in 2024.

Challenges and Considerations

Economic Headwinds: Developing economies, including India, face challenges such as high debt, weak investment and productivity growth, and the rising costs of climate change. Addressing these issues will require domestic reforms to boost private investment, deepen trade relations, and promote more efficient use of capital, talent, and energy.
Fiscal Policies: Fiscal policies in South Asia, including India, are expected to remain generally tight, with India’s fiscal deficits likely to continue shrinking, largely driven by rising tax revenues.
