II. External Environment

1. Global Economy

The global economy in F.Y. 2024-25 continued to navigate a complex environment marked by persistent geopolitical tensions, tightening monetary policies, and fluctuating energy and commodity markets. While inflationary pressures have begun to ease in some advanced economies, interest rates remained elevated, influencing global investment and consumption trends. The United States maintained steady growth supported by advancements in technology and resilient labour markets, though concerns around fiscal deficits and inflation management persisted.

Chinas economic trajectory showed signs of stabilization, driven by government stimulus measures and manufacturing output, although its real estate sector remains under stress. Emerging markets displayed divergent outcomes, with commodity-exporting nations witnessing positive momentum, while others grappled with high debt levels and capital outflows due to stronger global currencies. Global trade witnessed incremental growth, supported by digitalization and logistics improvements, but lingering protectionist policies and trade realignments added to uncertainty. Overall, F.Y. 2024-25 has been defined by a cautious yet progressive global economic environment, with businesses and policymakers focusing on building resilience and fostering long-term, sustainable growth.

2. Indian Economy

The Indian economy in F.Y. 2024-25 sustained its strong growth momentum, supported by resilient domestic demand, robust infrastructure investments, and proactive government policies.

Indias GDP growth remained among the highest globally, driven by continued expansion in the manufacturing and services sectors, along with steady contributions from agriculture. Key government initiatives such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, large-scale infrastructure projects under the National Infrastructure Pipeline, and accelerated digital transformation further strengthened the business environment. The manufacturing sector benefited from increasing foreign direct investments and the "Make in India" initiative, while the services sector, particularly IT, fintech, and telecommunications, continued to deliver exceptional growth. Agriculture maintained stability despite weather-related challenges, supported by technology adoption and improved irrigation facilities. Inflationary pressures moderated due to better supply-side management, allowing the Reserve Bank of India to maintain a balanced monetary policy stance. Export performance remained healthy, aided by diversified trade partnerships and strong global demand for Indian goods and services. However, challenges such as skill development, job creation, and fiscal consolidation continue to require strategic attention. Overall, Indias economy in F.Y. 2024-25 demonstrated resilience, making significant strides toward becoming a $5 trillion economy and reinforcing its role as a global growth driver.
