The World Bank has raised India’s growth forecast to 6.6% for the current financial year, up from 6.3%, citing strong domestic demand, resilient exports and recent free trade agreements. The report estimates India’s growth accelerated to 7.6% in FY26 from 7.1% in FY25, supported by robust private consumption driven by low inflation and GST rationalisation.
While lower GST rates are expected to support demand in early FY27, elevated global energy prices may pressure household incomes. The World Bank said India will remain the key growth driver for South Asia, with the region’s outlook largely anchored by its performance.

Europe and Asia market traded lower on Thursday, as investors fret over news that Iran’s parliamentary speaker charged the U.S. of breaching the terms of the two-week ceasefire agreement.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a “double sided” ceasefire, more than a month into a war with Iran.
The ceasefire was contingent on Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran had said that it would stop 'defensive” operations if attacks on the country were halted, according to a statement from Iran’s Foreign Minister. Israel has also agreed to the ceasefire, media reports said.
As per reports, Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf subsequently accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire deal. The violations are the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium and Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, a drone’s entry into Iranian airspace, he reportedly said.
Overnight in the U.S., stocks surged after President Donald Trump suspended attacks on Iran for two weeks, pausing a five-week conflict that closed a crucial waterway for global energy supplies.
