In April 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised India’s GDP growth forecast for the financial year 2026–27 to 6.5%, reflecting a slight increase from its earlier estimate of 6.4% made in January. This upward revision was driven by strong economic performance in the previous fiscal year and improved global conditions, including reduced tariffs on Indian exports by the United States. The IMF also projected that India would sustain this growth rate into FY28. Despite global uncertainties and slower trade growth, India’s economy is expected to remain resilient among emerging markets.
