India’s GDP growth for FY26 is projected at 6.8%, according to a Reuters economists’ poll, supported by strong manufacturing output and government-led capital expenditure. Analysts said private consumption remains steady, while export demand could recover as global inflation cools. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to maintain its policy rate through mid-2026 to balance growth and inflation. Economists believe India’s growth trajectory remains the fastest among major economies, with infrastructure, auto, and energy sectors showing continued resilience and foreign investment interest.
