CII Business Confidence Index rises third straight quarter

January 19, 2026

Business confidence among Indian industry is high, as corroborated by the latest Business Outlook Survey of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which said India has firmly established itself as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, demonstrating remarkable resilience amid global uncertainty shaped by geopolitical tensions, trade weaponisation, and a slowing world economy.

This growth is largely being attributed to bold reform initiatives.

CII’s Business Confidence Index rose for the third consecutive quarter to 66.5 in Q3FY26, the highest level in five quarters.

“The improvement is driven by optimism around demand, profitability, and investment conditions,” the industry chamber said in a statement.

Domestic demand remains the key driver, with two-thirds of firms reporting higher demand in Q2FY26 and 72 per cent expecting further growth in Q3FY26, aided by GST rate cuts and festive consumption. Investment and hiring intentions remain robust.
