World Bank Raises India's FY27 GDP Growth Forecast to 7.1%, Cites Resilient Demand
The World Bank has raised India's GDP growth forecast for fiscal year 2027 to 7.1%, up from 6.6%, citing strong domestic demand, robust industrial and services activity, and better-than-expected exports. Despite risks from higher global oil prices, El Niño-related weather disruptions, and potential capital market volatility, India's economy shows resilience supported by structural reforms and investments. The Bank also highlighted artificial intelligence as a key future growth driver, though adoption in India lags behind the US. Growth is expected to moderate slightly but remain strong through FY28 and FY29.
