IMF Upgrades India's Growth Forecast to 7.3% for 2025, Citing Strong Corporate Results

• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's economic growth estimate for 2025 to 7.3%, a 0.7 percentage point increase.
• This upgrade is attributed to better-than-expected business results from Indian companies in the December quarter.
• The IMF also noted that the immediate impact of American tariff shocks on the global economy has largely been absorbed.
• India is projected to grow at 6.4% for both 2026 and 2027, maintaining its position as the world's fastest-growing economy.
• Globally, the IMF expects 3.3% growth this year, with resilience driven by AI investments and reduced American tariffs on Chinese exports.

Why It Matters: IMF boosts India's 2025 growth forecast to 7.3% due to strong corporate performance and global resilience.
