BRICS Powerhouse: India's GDP Predicted to Soar to 7% This Year
India's economic engine is firing on all cylinders! Recent reports predict a robust GDP growth of 7% this year, solidifying its position as a leading economic force within the BRICS nations. This impressive growth trajectory is fueled by strong performance in key sectors, particularly construction and manufacturing.
India's Economic Surge: Key Highlights
- Strong Growth: India's economy surged 7.4% in January to March, exceeding forecasts and showcasing resilience.
- Manufacturing & Construction Boom: Driven by robust activity in construction and manufacturing sectors.
- Global Recognition: India's near-term economic performance is attracting global attention.

India: The Fastest Growing Major Economy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently stated that the Indian economy is expected to grow by 7.5 per cent this year, making it the fastest growing major economy. This positive outlook is supported by various economic indicators and expert analyses.
Future Projections
The future looks bright for India's economy. The National Statistical Office earlier this year estimated a 6.5% growth for 2025-25, with an expected 7.6% growth in the March quarter. Many analysts predict that India will continue its upward trajectory, potentially becoming the third largest economy in the world with a GDP of five trillion US dollars within the next three years. This growth is, however, not without risks. Uncertainty about U.S. tariffs poses risks to the Indian economy. Nevertheless, India can become the economy to watch in the coming years.
