India's Economy Surges: 7.4% Growth Forecasted

BMI, a Fitch Group company, has projected a strong 7.4% economic growth for India in the current fiscal year, with an expected 7% growth in FY27. This optimistic outlook is underpinned by a favorable policy environment, which is anticipated to stimulate both investment and consumption throughout 2026-27. The National Statistics Office has already projected a 7.4% GDP expansion for FY2025-26, indicating sustained momentum.

The economic performance in the first two quarters of FY2025-26 was robust, with growth rates of 7.8% and 8.2% respectively. BMI anticipates an expansion exceeding 9% in the third quarter (October-December) of FY2025-26, suggesting a very strong performance for that period. The firm has revised its GDP forecast upwards for 2025-26 to 7.4%, from 7.2% previously, and for 2026-27 to 7%, from 6.6%.
