IMF Raises India's FY27 Growth Forecast to 7 Percent Amid Global Uncertainties
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's GDP growth forecast for fiscal year 2026-27 to 7 percent, up from 6.4 percent earlier, citing strong domestic demand and robust services activity. The IMF also projects 7 percent growth for FY28, reflecting sustained economic momentum supported by favorable demographics, a large domestic market, and ongoing reforms. Despite global uncertainties such as elevated oil prices and geopolitical tensions, India remains among the fastest-growing major economies. The IMF warns that global economic resilience is becoming fragile amid persistent energy and geopolitical risks.
