The OECD has projected India’s GDP growth at 7.6% for FY26, highlighting the country’s strong economic resilience despite global uncertainties. This growth is supported by robust domestic demand, increasing infrastructure investments, and expansion in technology-driven sectors. Additionally, favourable trade conditions and a growing middle class contribute to sustained consumption and industrial activity. However, challenges such as rising global energy prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly in West Asia, may affect future growth prospects. The projection reflects optimism about India’s economic fundamentals while also cautioning about potential slowdowns due to external pressures.
