The United Nations has projected India's economy to grow at 6.4 per cent this year and 6.6 per cent in 2027, according to a report by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
The report said that economies in South and South-West Asia grew by 5.4% in 2025, compared to 5.2% in 2024, driven largely by strong growth in India.
India's growth edged up to 7.4% in 2025, supported by robust consumption, especially from the rural economy along with goods and services tax rate cuts, and export frontloading ahead of the United States' tariffs.
The report projected India to register a 6.4 per cent growth rate in 2026 and 6.6 per cent next year. Inflation for the country is projected to be 4.4 per cent this year and 4.3 per cent in 2027.
