Management commentary

 

In FY25, the Indian economy faced multiple headwinds, including slowing global growth, weakness in external demand, and a volatile global environment. As per the Second Advance Estimate, the economy is likely to have grown by 6.5 per cent in FY25, moderating from the 9.2 per cent growth recorded in the previous year.

 

Looking ahead, GDP growth is projected to moderate further to 6.2 per cent in FY26. Key headwinds for the Indian economy stem from continued uncertainties around global trade policies and their impact on global growth. Nonetheless, moderation in inflation, prospects of a normal monsoon, and lower interest rates are expected to support the Indian economy in the coming year.
