Mumbai: India’s economic growth is expected to pick up pace and remain strong in the coming years, with GDP likely to expand at 7.5 per cent in FY27, even as inflation stays under control, according to Axis Bank’s Economic Outlook 2026 on Tuesday.
The report, authored by Neelkanth Mishra, Chief Economist at Axis Bank and Head of Global Research at Axis Capital, says India can grow faster than its long-term trend without triggering inflationary pressures.
This is because the economy still has enough unused capacity, or slack, which allows growth to rise smoothly. Axis Bank expects India to grow faster than most global peers and even above market expectations, making it the world’s fastest-growing large economy. The strong outlook is supported by easing pressure from government finances, lower borrowing costs, and supportive monetary policy.
The report also highlights that ongoing structural reforms and regulatory easing will help sustain growth over the medium term.
