World Bank Upgrades India’s FY26 GDP Growth Forecast to 6.5%
India Maintains Top Spot as Fastest-Growing Major Economy Amid Upward GDP Revision
New Delhi, Oct 07 : The World Bank has revised India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for the financial year 2025–26 (FY26) to 6.5%, up from the 6.3% projected in June. This upward revision reflects continued strength in domestic consumption and robust economic momentum.
However, the Bank has lowered India’s GDP forecast for FY27 by 20 basis points to 6.3%, citing higher than expected tariffs on Indian exports to the United States.
Despite these external challenges, India is projected to remain the world’s fastest-growing major economy, underpinned by resilient consumption growth and domestic demand, according to the World Bank’s South Asia Outlook report.
