The World Bank trimmed India’s GDP forecast for FY27 to 6.3%, down from 6.6%, citing structural issues and slower global trade momentum. The multilateral lender noted that higher energy import bills and uneven private investment could temper growth despite resilient domestic demand. It urged continued fiscal reforms and digital infrastructure spending to sustain medium-term expansion. Economists said India’s 6–7% potential remains intact but depends on sustained capex momentum and manufacturing competitiveness in the evolving global supply chain environment.
