India’s Growth to Exceed Expectations Next Year: Goldman Sachs

India is expected to remain the fastest-growing major economy in the coming years and outperform growth expectations, according to a report released on Wednesday by global investment bank Goldman Sachs.

The report highlights that strong domestic demand, steady government spending on infrastructure such as roads and large-scale projects, and India’s relatively lower dependence on exports compared to countries like China are key drivers supporting the country’s economic momentum. Based on these factors, Goldman Sachs projects India’s economy to grow by 6.7 percent in 2026 and further accelerate to 6.8 percent in 2027.

With this performance, India is likely to continue as the world’s fastest-growing major economy. The report also notes that inflation is expected to moderate in many countries by the end of 2026, which could allow central banks to maintain lower interest rates.

However, Goldman Sachs cautioned that job creation is slowing globally, particularly in developed economies. Despite this concern, the firm described India as a bright spot in the global economy, citing its stable growth outlook and positive macroeconomic conditions.
