The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says India retains its position as the fastest-growing major economy. In its latest projections, the IMF expects India’s economy to grow at a rate more than double that of China and nearly three times that of the United States in FY26. The IMF attributes India’s relative outperformance to the resilience of its growth engine despite global headwinds. It points to twin external shocks, including the impact of the war in the Middle East and the effects of the broader global technology cycle. While the IMF framework suggests growth is slowing or less robust in other large economies, India’s trajectory remains comparatively stronger in the near term. The projection keeps focus on relative growth rates across major economies rather than on specific sectoral drivers. Across the sources provided, the core message is consistent: for FY26, India is expected to lead among major economies in growth pace, outpacing both China and the United States by a wide margin, according to the IMF.
