The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) has projected India’s economy to grow by 7.4% in the ongoing financial year, driven by strong consumption and public investment.
According to the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2026 report, India is expected to grow by 6.6% in FY 2026–27 and 6.8% in FY 2027–28.
The report highlights that recent tax reforms and easier monetary policies will support short-term growth.
It also notes that major developing economies such as India and Indonesia are likely to sustain growth due to strong domestic demand and targeted policy support.
