World Bank Raises India’s FY27 GDP Growth Forecast to 7.1 Percent
The World Bank has raised India's GDP growth forecast for fiscal year 2026-27 to 7.1%, up from 6.6%, citing stronger-than-expected domestic demand, industrial and services activity, and robust exports. Despite agricultural weakness due to sub-par monsoons and risks from elevated oil prices and El Niño, India's economy remains a key driver of South Asia's growth, projected at 6.9% for the region. The report highlights structural reforms and increasing artificial intelligence adoption as factors supporting India's medium-term growth prospects.
