Resilient India beats global headwinds again, says Das

New Delhi: India has repeatedly turned global crises into opportunities, emerging stronger each time, said Shaktikanta Das on Thursday. Addressing the AIMA National Leadership Conclave, the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister said India’s economic journey reflects resilience backed by re-form and stability. “During every crisis, India has not just endured but improved in measurable ways,” Das said, noting that global risks remain tilted to the downside amid geo-political tensions, supply chain disruptions. Despite the challenging backdrop, India posted real GDP growth of 7.6 per cent in FY26, with a five-year average of 7.8 per cent, underlining strong fundamentals. Das attributed this resilience to macroeconomic stability, consistent policymaking, infra push and robust domestic demand.
