India’s economy is expected to grow by 6.5% in 2025, keeping its place as the fastest-growing major economy in the world, said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Despite the rise in global uncertainties, India’s growth remains strong compared to other large economies.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra shared this update during a speech in Washington, which was later posted on the RBI’s official website. He mentioned that while the 6.5% growth rate is slightly lower than India’s recent achievements and future aspirations, it is still in line with long-term trends and remains the best among major economies globally.
The global growth outlook has weakened due to rising trade tensions, especially after the tariff actions by the United States. In response to support India’s economy, the RBI had already cut interest rates in early April and shifted its monetary policy stance to ‘accommodative,’ indicating a possibility of further rate cuts if needed.
Sanjay Malhotra also added that India’s strong domestic demand and lower reliance on exports provide a cushion against global economic troubles. He pointed out that this stability and growth potential make India a preferred destination for long-term investors.
