India To Lead Emerging Market Growth With 7% GDP Rise
Moody’s Ratings has projected that India’s economy will grow by 7 percent in 2025, making it the fastest-growing major emerging market. The agency said India’s economic momentum remains strong despite global uncertainty and slowing growth in several other regions.
Drivers Behind The Growth Forecast
According to Moody’s, the projection is supported by robust domestic consumption, steady government-led infrastructure investment and a broadening export base. These factors, the agency noted, have helped India stay resilient even as global demand weakens and supply-chain pressures persist.
Outlook For The Coming Years
Moody’s expects India’s growth to moderate slightly to around 6.4 percent in 2026 and about 6.5 percent in 2027. Even with this easing, India is still expected to remain among the top-performing large economies globally.
Significance For Global Markets
If the 7 percent growth materialises, it would further strengthen India’s position as a key driver of emerging-market expansion. Economists say the forecast reflects confidence in India’s structural reforms, consumption potential and long-term investment outlook.
