IMF keeps India’s 2025 GDP forecast at 6.6% as global growth steadies at 2.9%

The IMF’s October 2025 World Economic Outlook reaffirmed India’s GDP growth at 6.6%, citing resilient domestic demand and capex momentum, while global growth was pegged at 2.9%. Inflation is expected to ease to 4.8% worldwide, helped by softer commodity prices. The report flagged risks from China’s slowdown and tight financing conditions in advanced economies. Economists said India’s policy stability and infrastructure push continue to underpin its medium-term expansion outlook.
