India GDP forecast: The World Economic Outlook report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has once again demonstrated India’s growing strength. The recent IMF’s WEO report says that India will grow at the rate of 6.6 percent in the financial year 2025-26. With this growth, India will be included among the fastest growing economies of the world. IMF has released this report keeping in mind the boom in India’s economy in the first quarter.
Heavy tariffs have been imposed on India by the American government. Despite this, this report has raised hopes that the impact of American tariffs on the Indian economy will remain balanced. The report also says that India’s growth will be faster than China’s 4.8 percent. However, the IMF has slightly reduced the growth rate for 2026 to 6.2 percent.
What does the IMF report say?
1. In the IMF report, India’s growth rate has been stated at 6.6 percent. However, this growth rate has been increased to 6.2 percent in 2026. The IMF expects that the growth rate in the first quarter may gradually slow down. At the same time, the growth of global economies is expected to be 3.2 percent and 3.1 percent in 2026. Which means that even in 2026, India’s growth rate is likely to be higher than other countries.
2. IMF has stated in its report that the average growth rate of advanced economies is estimated to be 1.6 percent and the average growth rate of emerging economies is estimated to be 4.2 percent. There may be a slight decline in the growth rate of emerging economies in 2026. This decline is likely to be close to 0.2 percent.
3. If we talk about countries with advanced economies, Spain will grow the fastest. Whose growth rate will be 2.9 percent, while America’s growth rate will be 1.9 percent. Apart from this, Brazil is likely to grow at 2.4 percent, Canada at 1.2 percent and Japan at 1.1 percent.
