The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised India’s GDP growth forecast upward to 6.4% for both 2025 and 2026. This update reflects improved global financial conditions, a weaker US dollar, and reduced trade pressures due to lower-than-expected global tariffs. These favourable external factors, combined with India’s strong domestic demand and economic reforms, have positioned it as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. The IMF’s projection, calculated on a calendar year basis, indicates a resilient economic trajectory for India despite global uncertainties, reinforcing its attractiveness as a destination for foreign investment and a model of emerging market stability.
