India is projected to grow at 6.6 per cent in 2026, registering an “exceptionally high growth in a challenging global environment”, with resilient private consumption and strong public investment largely offsetting the impact of high US tariffs as mentioned by United Nations.
The World Economic Situation and Prospects 2026 report released by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs said that economic growth in India is projected to “moderate” from an estimated 7.4 per cent in 2025 to 6.6 per cent this year. India will remain the world's fastest major economy, it said.
