Indian Economy and Business: Key Reforms, Robust Growth Projections, and Evolving Trade Dynamics

November 23, 2025

India's economy is undergoing significant transformations, marked by the implementation of new labor codes aimed at enhancing competitiveness and worker welfare, despite initial opposition from trade unions. The nation continues to be a global growth leader, with Moody's projecting a 7% GDP growth for 2025 and SBI forecasting a 7.5% expansion for Q2 FY26. While the trade deficit widened in October 2025 due to merchandise export shrinkage and increased imports, overall exports remain steady due to market diversification. Green finance is emerging as a strategic priority, and India is actively fostering international cooperation and domestic fintech innovation.
