The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has revised India's growth forecast for fiscal year 2025 (FY25) to 6.7%, up from the previous projection of 6.6%. The OECD also expects growth to increase to 6.8% in FY26. The organisation notes that domestic demand has boosted activity in countries like Brazil, India, and Indonesia, while inflation is projected to rise at a faster rate of 4.5% compared to the previous estimate of 4.3%. However, prices are expected to move towards the Reserve Bank of India's target of 4% in FY26. The OECD highlights geopolitical and trade tensions as potential risks to the outlook.

The World Bank has increased its growth forecast for India to 7% for the current fiscal year, up from a previous estimate of 6.6%. The upward revision is attributed to government spending on infrastructure. India's economy slowed to 6.7% in the April-June quarter due to a decline in government spending during national elections. The World Bank expects India's medium-term economic growth to remain strong, with an average of 6.7% over the next two fiscal years. However, job creation remains a key challenge with the urban unemployment rate remaining high at an average of 17%.

An estimated 0.4% GDP growth drag is anticipated if the tariffs remain, potentially lowering India’s FY26 GDP growth forecast to below 6%.
