Fitch Ratings just turned up the heat on India’s economic outlook! The agency raised its FY26 growth forecast from 6.5% to a sizzling 6.9%, thanks to booming domestic demand and favorable financial conditions. India’s economy flexed its muscles with a stellar 7.8% GDP growth in Q1FY26, up from 7.4% the previous quarter—defying expectations and making economists smile.

What Is The secret sauce?

Services output skyrocketed by 9.3%, compared to 6.8% earlier, while both private and public consumption played starring roles.

Private consumption alone grew a healthy 7% in just three months (April to June), proving that Indian consumers are ready to spend. With this upward momentum, India’s growth story looks more vibrant than ever- making the nation a hotspot for investors and market watchers alike. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!
