The finance ministry in its economic review before the budget has projected Indian economy to grow close to 7% in FY25. The multilateral institution projected Indian economy to grow 6.7% in FY24. The first advance estimate released by the government earlier this month pegged FY24 growth at 7.3%.
The IMF announced Tuesday it has raised its 2024 global growth forecast to 3.1 per cent, citing unexpected "resilience" in major advanced and emerging market economies around the world.
“Growth in India is projected at 6.1% in 2023, a 0.2 percentage point upward revision compared with the April projection, reflecting momentum from stronger-than-expected growth in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of stronger domestic investment,” the IMF stated in its July update of the World Economic Outlook (WEO).
