WEF, S&P, and Moody's Assess India's Economic Growth Outlook

WEF, S&P Global Ratings, and Moody's Ratings assessed India's economic growth potential on September 1, 2026. The WEF raised its forecast for India's fiscal year 2026–27 to 6.7 per cent in August, citing resilient domestic demand as the main support factor. S&P noted that robust industrial activity, strong consumption, and accelerating government investment had pushed growth above earlier expectations.

The assessment confirmed that India maintains one of the strongest growth outlooks among the geographies covered in the WEF report. However, the outlook remains challenged by elevated energy prices, tighter US monetary policy, and geopolitical risks. S&P cautioned that growth might ease in the second half of the fiscal year due to the fading boost from GST rationalisation and income tax cuts.
