India To Retain Status As The Fastest Growing Among Largest Economy According To World Bank

The Indian economy is growing fast, as it is currently the fifth-largest economy in the world. India finds itself behind fully developed nations like the United States of America, China, Germany, and Japan. The Indian economy will keep on growing, as the World Bank has predicted that the economy of India will see a growth of 6.6% for the financial year 2025. 

The World Bank also predicted that the Indian economy will grow at 6.7 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, for the 2026 and 2027 financial years. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also set its growth projection at 7.2 percent for the financial year 2025. 

The World Bank projected slower growth because of the slowdown in investment from the people, but investment growth is still expected to be stronger because of some strong public investment accompanied by private investment. The World Bank also projected that government consumption will grow, but only slowly, and that is a good thing because the government wants to keep expenses low.

Talking about the subject, the Governor of RBI, Shaktikanta Das, said, "The forecast of an above-normal south-west monsoon by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is expected to boost kharif production and replenish the reservoir levels. Strengthening agricultural sector activity is expected to boost rural consumption. On the other hand, sustained buoyancy in service activity should continue to support urban consumption. The healthy balance sheets of banks and corporations; the government’s continued thrust on capex; high capacity utilization; and business optimism augur well for investment activity. External demand should get a fillip from improving the prospects of global trade. The World Bank said in India the fiscal deficit was projected to shrink relative to GDP, partly because of increased revenues generated by the authorities’ efforts to broaden the tax base. “India’s economy has been buoyed by strong domestic demand, a surge in investment, and robust service activity. Some large EMDEs, such as India, are expected to see continued solid per capita growth."
