According to the latest World Economic Outlook Report of IMF, India is once again in the headlines. The report says that India’s GDP growth is estimated to be 6.6% in the financial year 2025-26, which is the fastest among the major economies of the world. Whereas China’s growth rate is expected to be 4.8% – that means India is going to overtake China once again! IMF said that India’s fast growth is due to strong domestic demand, industrial production and large-scale infrastructure investment. India’s GDP grew at a rate of 7.8% in the first quarter of FY26, and this carryover effect is increasing the pace for the entire year. IMF estimates that the growth of the global economy may decline to 3.2% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, but India’s growth will still remain at the top. However, the IMF has warned that protectionism, geopolitical tensions and labor market changes could slow global growth. The Indian government believes that the country’s growth will remain between 6.3%–6.8% and that startups, innovation and infrastructure boom will take India to new heights.
