India is poised to remain the fastest-growing major economy in FY 2025-26, with projected GDP growth of 6.5%, according to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) annual report. The country's GDP is expected to reach USD 4.18 trillion, nearing Japan's economic size. Growth will be driven by robust domestic consumption, rising capital expenditure, and government fiscal support. Strong macroeconomic fundamentals, a resilient financial sector, favourable monsoon forecasts, and low retail inflation (3.16% in April) are expected to boost consumer spending and investment. The RBI also anticipates potential monetary easing to further stimulate growth. Recent income tax relief and increased infrastructure and real estate investment will further support expansion. The report stresses the need for continued policy coordination, structural reforms, and infrastructure development to sustain India's growth momentum, positioning the nation as a key driver of global economic growth.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has projected that India will remain the fastest-growing major economy in the upcoming fiscal year 2025-26. This outlook was outlined in the central bank's annual report published earlier this week, reflecting confidence in India's sustained economic momentum despite challenges on the global front.

According to the RBI, India's economy is expected to grow by approximately 6.5% during FY26. This growth trajectory is underpinned by robust domestic consumption, a surge in capital spending, and continued fiscal support from the government. Together, these factors are forecast to boost India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to an estimated USD 4.18 trillion, bringing it on par with Japan's economy.
The report emphasises that India's resilient macroeconomic fundamentals and a sound financial sector provide a strong foundation to withstand external headwinds. While global economic conditions remain uncertain, the RBI believes India's diversified economy and structural reforms will continue to support steady growth.
Favourable monsoon conditions projected for the year and retail inflation, which recently touched a near six-year low of 3.16% in April, are also expected to encourage consumer spending and investment. The RBI suggests that these conditions might lead to further monetary easing, with possible cuts in policy interest rates to stimulate growth.
Furthermore, the government's recent income tax relief measures and fiscal policies are anticipated to enhance disposable income and promote capital expenditure, especially in sectors such as infrastructure and real estate, which are crucial drivers of economic expansion.
The RBI's annual report underscores the importance of continued coordination between monetary and fiscal policies to sustain growth while managing inflation and other risks. It also highlights the need for ongoing reforms and investments in infrastructure to maintain India's growth trajectory over the medium term.
As India approaches a GDP size comparable to Japan's, the economic landscape is set for significant transformation, underlining the country's emergence as a critical engine of global growth.
