CRISIL, a major rating agency in India, forecasts the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth to be 6.8% in the next fiscal year (FY25).

  • CRISIL expects India's economic growth to moderate slightly from the current fiscal year (FY24) due to factors like higher interest rates but still sees a healthy 6.8% growth for FY25.
  • Over the next seven years, CRISIL predicts an average annual growth rate of 6.7%, potentially propelling India to become the world's third-largest economy by 2031, trailing behind the US and China.
    • India, with a GDP size of USD 3.7 trillion, is currently the fifth largest economy in the world, after the US, China, Japan and Germany.
  • The projected growth is expected to elevate India's per capita income (reach $4,500 by 2031), allowing it to reach upper-middle-income status by 2031.
  • Crisil's India Outlook report projects that between fiscal 2025 and 2031, the size of the Indian economy will inch closer to the USD 7 trillion mark.
