IMF Raises India's GDP Growth Forecast to 7% for FY27 and FY28 Amid Global Challenges
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's GDP growth forecast to 7 percent for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28, citing resilient domestic demand, robust services activity, and strong economic momentum. This upgrade aligns with similar revisions by the Reserve Bank of India, World Bank, and other agencies. Despite global challenges such as elevated oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and a fragile global economy, India is projected to remain the fastest-growing major economy, supported by favourable demographics, a large domestic market, and ongoing structural reforms.
