India to grow at 6.6% in FY26 even as global growth slows, IMF data shows

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) data mapped today, India’s economy is expected to expand by about 6.6% in FY26 — among the strongest for major economies — even as the global growth rate is projected to slow to 3.2% in 2025. The upward estimate for India is attributed to resilient consumption, infrastructure investment and reform momentum. Analysts caution this does not immunise India from external shocks such as trade disruption or commodity price spikes, but highlight the relative strength of its domestic-demand-driven economy.
