The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised India's GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 6.4%, lowering it from the earlier estimate of 6.5%. The revision reflects concerns over rising global energy prices, including higher crude oil, natural gas, and fertilizer costs, which are expected to increase inflationary pressures and impact economic growth. Despite the downgrade, India's economy continues to be supported by strong domestic consumption and a resilient services sector. The IMF also expects growth to improve in FY28 as energy-related pressures ease, keeping India among the world's fastest-growing major economies.
