Global Agencies Raise India's FY27 GDP Growth Forecast Amid Economic Resilience
Multiple global agencies, including S&P Global, Fitch Ratings, OECD, and the Asian Development Bank, have raised India's GDP growth forecasts for fiscal year 2026-27, citing stronger-than-expected economic activity in the June quarter. Growth projections range from 6.9% to 7.1%, supported by robust industrial activity, consumption, exports, and government investment. However, these agencies also warn of potential moderation in the second half of the year due to inflationary pressures, below-normal monsoon rains, and geopolitical risks, with expectations of a 25 basis point RBI rate hike to manage inflation.
