India to remain fastest-growing major economy at 6.6 pc in FY27, down from 7.2 last year: World Bank

Washington: India will remain the world's fastest-growing major economy, expanding at 6.6 per cent in fiscal year 2026-27, a sharp moderation from 7.7 per cent in the previous year, the World Bank said on Thursday.

"Growth in India is projected to moderate to 6.6 per cent in fiscal year 2026/27 (April 2026 to March 2027), reflecting a slowdown in private demand growth owing to higher energy prices and other input costs," the World Bank said in its report on Global Economic Prospects.
