Indian Economy Poised for $4 Trillion Milestone, Driven by Consumption and Exports
November 26, 2025
India's Chief Economic Advisor, V. Anantha Nageswaran, announced that the Indian economy is on track to surpass the USD 4 trillion mark in the current fiscal year (FY26), building on its position as the world's fifth-largest economy. S&P Global Ratings forecasts a robust GDP growth of 6.5% for FY26, attributing it to strong domestic consumption, recent tax cuts, and monetary policy easing. While the Reserve Bank of India's latest bulletin highlights continued economic momentum in October, driven by manufacturing and services, it also noted a widening merchandise trade deficit. The government is actively pushing for export growth and pursuing new trade agreements to bolster the economy further.
