S&P Global Ratings has projected that India will record a GDP growth rate of 6.5% in FY2025-26. This projection reflects confidence in India’s strong domestic consumption, expected tax cuts, and supportive monetary policy, all of which are anticipated to boost demand and investment. The growth forecast positions India as one of the fastest-growing major economies, even amid global challenges such as inflation and geopolitical uncertainties. Additionally, the outlook suggests that internal economic drivers will continue to play a central role in sustaining growth, with potential policy developments like an India–US trade agreement—offering further momentum despite risks like US tariff pressures.
