IMF Lowers India’s Growth Projection To 6.2% for FY26

"For India, the growth outlook is relatively more stable at 6.2 per cent in 2025, supported by private consumption, particularly in rural areas,” IMF said in its World Economic Outlook (WEO).

India, which grew at 6.5 per cent in 2024-25, is projected to grow at 6.2 per cent in 2026-27, IMF said, adding that the growth rate is 0.3 percentage point lower than that in the January 2025 WEO update on “account of higher levels of trade tensions and global uncertainty”.
