India's GDP Growth Estimate Revised Upward to 7.3 Percent
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised India's GDP growth estimate for the financial year 2025-26 to 7.3 percent, reflecting a 0.7 percentage point increase. This revision is attributed to strong performance in the third quarter and robust momentum expected in the fourth quarter. Despite a projected moderation to 6.54 percent in 2026 and 2027 due to cyclical factors, the upward revision offers relief to investors and analysts. The report highlights the government's focus on infrastructure and the startup ecosystem as key drivers for transitioning India from a developing to a developed nation, amid challenges faced by global economies.
