Outlook

The Indian economy looks positive and seems promising in terms of its growth prospects. The overall macroeconomic stability and growing consumer demand indicators suggest that the economy is well positioned to take on future challenges. Here again, rising fuel prices and higher inflation, definitely pose the risk of challenges. But despite all the difficulties, India continues to be an attractive space for investors as an alternate manufacturing destination for specific industries; Information Technologies, Broadcasting, Manufacturing Industry and the Agriculture Sector. And this is what provides hope to the Indian growth story. We expect India to grow 6.7% per year from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2031, catapulting GDP to $6.7 trillion from $3.4 trillion in fiscal 2023. Per capita GDP will rise to about $4,500.
