The IMF has revised India's economic growth forecast upwards to 6.4% for FY26 and FY27, citing a more favorable global economic environment. This projection positions India as the fastest-growing economy among major nations. The revised global growth outlook reflects stronger-than-expected economic activity and adjustments in US trade policies. While the IMF's forecast is slightly below the RBI's 6.

According to the National Statistical Office, India's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 6.5% in a calendar year basis, the IMF anticipates India's economy to grow 6.7% in 2025 and 6.4% in IMF raised global growth outlook as well, projecting 3% growth in 2025, up from 2.8%, and 3.1% in 2026 compared to April forecast of 3%.'This reflects stronger-than-expected front-loading in anticipation of higher tariffs; lower average effective US tariff rates than announced in April; an improvement in financial conditions, including due to a weaker US dollar; and fiscal expansion in some major jurisdictions,' the IMF IMF highlighted recent US trade policy developments as influential. President Donald Trump's April 2 announcement of reciprocal tariffs, including a 26% duty on India, was followed by a 90-day pause until July 9, later extended to August 1.'Pause in higher tariffs for most of its trading partners and a deescalation of trade tensions with China in May modestly reduced the US effective tariff rate from 24% to about 17%,' said Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, chief economist at IMF.

'The IMF staff estimates that the OBBBA could raise US output by about 0.5% on average over the WEO horizon through 2030, relative to a baseline without this fiscal package,' added the economic growth forecast has also been upgraded to 4.8% for 2025, due to stronger-than-expected performance in the first half of 2025 and significant reduction in US-China tariffs, according to the IMF. Growth in 2026 is expected at 4.2%, driven by lower effective tariff rates.
