A positive projection has emerged for India's economy. According to reports, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects India to grow 6.4% in FY 2026-27, well above the global average.
Why India's position is strong
- A working-age population of about 66% to 68% is cited as a core strength
- Domestic consumption and investment support growth
- India is comparatively better placed amid global uncertainty
Experts say the demographic dividend will pay off only with sustained investment in jobs and skilling.
