India to Remain Fastest-Growing Economy in 2026: IMF World Economic Outlook Upgrade

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its highly anticipated April 2026 World Economic Outlook (WEO), titled “Global Economy in the Shadow of War.” While the report warns of a darkening global horizon due to the ongoing West Asia conflict, it delivered a major boost for New Delhi. The IMF has upgraded India’s GDP growth forecast to 6.5% for 2026, solidifying its status as the fastest-growing major economy in the world.
