India to remain fastest-growing among largest economies, says World Bank

The World Bank on Tuesday retained its growth forecast for India at 6.6 per cent for FY25. “India will remain the fastest-growing of the world’s largest economies, although its pace of expansion is expected to moderate. After a high growth rate in FY 2023/24, steady growth of 6.7 per cent per year, on average, is projected for the three fiscal years beginning in FY 2024/25,” the multilateral bank said in its latest biannual Global Economic Prospects. For FY26 and FY27, the World Bank projected India’s economy to grow at 6.7 per cent and 6.8 per cent, respectively. In FY24, the National Statistical Office has estimated gross domestic product (GDP) to have grown at 8.2 per cent.
