India's economy continues to grow at a steady and confident pace, standing out as the fastest growing major economy in the world. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of size and health of the economy. It is the total value of all the goods and services produced within a country. In 2024-25, real GDP growth was estimated at 6.5 per cent. The Reserve Bank of India expects the same rate to continue in 2025-26. This performance comes at a time when the global economy faces uncertainty, making India's steady momentum all the more significant.

Supported by strong domestic demand, easing inflation, robust capital markets and rising exports, the broader economic picture is one of resilience and balance. Key indicators such as record foreign exchange reserves, a manageable current account deficit, and increasing foreign investment reflect growing global trust in India's long-term prospects.

Together, these trends show an economy that is not only expanding but doing so with strength across sectors.

ROBUST GDP GROWTH

India's growth story continues to draw global attention, backed by strong fundamentals and consistent performance. Real GDP, which measures the economy's output after removing the effects of inflation, expanded by 6.5 per cent in 2024-25. The Reserve Bank of India expects this pace to continue into 2025-26.

Other projections echo this optimism, with the United Nations forecasting growth of 6.3 per cent this year and 6.4 per cent next year, while the Confederation of Indian Industry places its estimate slightly higher at 640 to 6.70 per cent.
