The domestic economic growth outlook for FY26 remains strong, supported by domestic demand, favourable monsoon conditions, lower inflation, monetary easing, and the positive effects of GST reforms, according to the Finance Ministry’s monthly economic review released on Monday.

India’s trade performance remains robust, with strong services exports effectively offsetting the merchandise trade deficit. Even as trade deal negotiations with the US continue, merchandise trade data for September 2025 presented early evidence of diversification of export destinations. The increase in gross FDI inflows signals the country’s appeal as an attractive investment destination, the report pointed out.
