India’s economy is growing faster than expected. The IMF has raised its GDP forecast to 7.3% for this financial year—cementing India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy. But with global headwinds, including U.S. tariffs, and fading domestic demand, sustaining this momentum is the next big challenge. Ahead of Budget 2026, Indian industry is calling for bold reforms—more infrastructure spending, lower tech import duties, and a push into emerging sectors like AI and clean energy. The government must now walk a tightrope—shielding the economy from external shocks while maintaining robust growth.
