India's 'Goldilocks' Run to Continue for Two Years: EAC-PM Chair Predicts Strong Growth

  • EAC-PM Chair S Mahendra Dev forecasts India's 'Goldilocks' phase (high growth, low inflation) to persist for two more years.
  • India's economy is projected to grow 6.5-7% in FY27, maintaining momentum from FY26's estimated 7.4% growth.
  • High domestic consumption, continued public capital expenditure, and increased FDI/FPI inflows are key growth drivers.
  • CPI inflation is expected around 4% next fiscal year, while the rupee, which weakened in 2025, may appreciate with more inflows.
  • Diversified exports through FTAs and a revival in private sector capex, including significant tech investments, are boosting resilience.

Why It Matters: India's economy is set for two more years of 'Goldilocks' growth, driven by strong domestic factors and investments.
