The Indian economy enters 2026 under the shadow of global trade tensions and geopolitical shifts but swift reform measures have laid the foundation for it to weather the global challenges on the back of robust growth. The nearly $4-trillion economy has managed to navigate the global storm deftly with growth now expected to be over 7% in the current financial year that ends in March. Several multilateral agencies, brokerages and economists have revised upwards their growth estimates for this year after the scorching 8.2% expansion in the three months to Sept. The focus in the New Year will be on sustaining the growth momentum and perhaps accelerating it to align with the goal of emerging as a developed country by 2047.
