India’s GDP growth for FY26 projected at 6.6% amid global risks but resilient demand

The International Monetary Fund forecasts India’s economy to grow at 6.6 % in fiscal year 2025-26, up from 6.5 % in 2024-25, citing robust domestic consumption, GST reform support and strong Q2 performance. Export headwinds from higher U.S. tariffs and global demand weakness remain risks, and the IMF projects growth to moderate to 6.2 % in FY27. India remains among the fastest-growing major economies despite external pressures, supported by resilient domestic demand amid global uncertainty.
