India's Economy Poised for Robust Growth in FY26; New GDP Series to Reflect Digital Transformation
October 28, 2025
India's Finance Ministry has projected a strong economic growth outlook for the fiscal year 2025-26, buoyed by robust domestic demand, favorable monsoon conditions, and the positive impact of GST reforms. This optimism is echoed by upward revisions in GDP growth forecasts by the IMF and RBI. In a significant move to capture the evolving economic landscape, India is set to introduce a new GDP series that will include the digital economy and gig sector. While Indian equity markets closed higher on Monday, business sentiments showed a moderate decline in Q2FY26 amidst global uncertainties and US tariffs. Concurrently, Indian businesses are finding new avenues in trade with Russia due to tightening EU sanctions.
