The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected India's economy to grow at 6.6% in 2025-26, maintaining its position as one of the fastest-growing emerging markets despite US tariff impacts. This growth rate, higher than China's expected 4.8%, reflects strong first-quarter performance while the IMF predicts global growth to reach 3.2% in 2025 before slowing to 3.1% in 2026.
