The IMF on Monday raised India's growth projection to 7.3 per cent for fiscal 2025-26, up 0.7 percentage point from its October forecast, on the back of better-than-expected performance of the economy.
The Washington-headquartered multilateral lending agency has also revised India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth forecast to 6.4 per cent for fiscal year 2026-27 beginning April 1, 2026, from its earlier estimate of 6.2 per cent.
"In India, growth is revised upward by 0.7 percentage point to 7.3 per cent for 2025 (fiscal FY26), reflecting the better-than-expected outturn in the third quarter of the year and strong momentum in the fourth quarter," it said in its World Economic Outlook (WEO) update.
Growth is projected to moderate to 6.4 per cent in 2026-27 and 2027-28 as cyclical and temporary factors wane, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said.
According to India's statistics ministry, GDP during April-September of 2025-26 registered a growth rate of 8 per cent, on the back

Europe has weapons for Trumps Greenland war
INDIA NEWS | Mon, 19 Jan 2026, 4:02PM IST
The Cold War satirical novel The Mouse That Roared imagined a tiny European statelet declaring war on the US in the hopes of being lavished with American aid after its inevitable defeat. Its a title that came immediately to mind when European nations sent three dozen soldiers to Greenland in response to Donald Trumps threats to wrest the island from Danish control. The idea seems to have been: Support Denmark, yes, but dont antagonize the White House when Ukrainian security is also on the line.Whatever the intent, it hasnt worked. Trumps contemptuous delight in beating up US allies was given free rein over the weekend as he raised the ante over the Arctic territory. Its time for Europe to fight tariff fire with fire.The president threatened a 10% duty from February on US imports from the countries sending troops: France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and non-European Union members UK and Norway. That would increase to 25% in June until a deal is reached for his government to buy Greenland. In a grim flashback to last years EU-US trade deal when the bloc had to swallow a 15% tariff on its transatlantic exports, the underbelly of Europes trade-dependent, soft-power regime is fully exposed.The cost of such extra tariffs would be high. Bloomberg Economics estimates they could cut these countries US exports by up to 50%. Germany, Sweden and Denmark look especially vulnerable. But another timid acquiescence from the Europeans would be disastrous. This is textbook economic bullying, driven by a leader who recently said the only limitation on his global powers was (his) own mind. If last years tariff deal is already being rewritten on the fly by the Americans, where will it stop? There has to be a point when even mice do more than squeak apologetically and submit to worse trade terms than China.126675880So even as Germany appears to be shipping its dozen or so soldiers back home job done, apparently European leaders must be ready to play hardball if these levies materialize. The starting point is bolstering the European Parliaments threat to hold back approval of last years trade agreement, which was hailed by Trumps administration as providing unprecedented levels of market access for American products. The deal has not stopped the US from trying to strongarm Brussels into going easy on the tech barons of Silicon Valley and Seattle over regulations and antitrust.There is also scope for retaliation via 93 billion ($108 billion) of potential counter-tariffs on imported US goods, which can serve as leverage in negotiations even if the gloomy market reaction shows it won't be cost-free.There should be an urgent push, too, to unbox the EUs bazooka for the fight ahead: The blocs Anti-Coercion Instrument is explicitly designed to defend member states put under tariff pressure by foreign powers. It allows retaliation beyond customs duties, and can potentially restrict market access for titans like Google owner Alphabet Inc. That is a much bigger stick than the usual clobbering of more niche US companies such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles with higher import taxes. French President Emmanuel Macron, still nursing his wounds after failing to stop an EU trade deal with Latin America hated by French farmers, favors this trade weapon and hes been backed by German industrial association VDMA. Europe must not allow itself to be blackmailed, its president wrote over the weekend.Then comes the longer-term question of whether Europe can get by on defense and security without American backing in Ukraine first and foremost the answer to which was a resounding no last year when the EU had to accept the 15% levy. But just as those transatlantic trade terms have barely survived the New Year, last years rush to declare the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as being back and better than ever under Daddy Trump looks wildly premature. Denmark is right to say that a hostile takeover of Greenland would be the end of the alliance as we know it. Trumps new threats go beyond the NATO brain death that Macron spoke of a few years back, and toward something like the forced obedience of the Soviet blocs Warsaw Pact. To avoid this miserable fate, the rearming of Europe is ever more imperative.European unity will be found wanting, of course. Poland and Italy are not on the tariff list and will doubtless try to deescalate. Trumps continental MAGA allies can be counted on to sow discord. The UK, under the cautious stewardship of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, may pursue its own routes to exemptions.Nor will Europe be under any illusion: If the White House is determined to take Greenland in the face of opposition from the American public, Congress, the EU, NATO and the overwhelming majority of Greenlanders, it will succeed. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon recently called the Arctic the Great Game of the 21st century.But if the status of American ally means being subjected to trade and technological subservience rather than being lavished with Cold War-style aid, cutting loose will become preferable. Trumps arrogant, unnecessary aggression over Greenland may well become that moment. Canada is getting closer to China, even though it shares a 5,525 mile border with the US. In todays White House, reality has outpaced fiction. Europes mice must quickly find their inner tigers.

RBI to keep interest rates steady- Crisil
INDIA NEWS | Mon, 19 Jan 2026, 3:26PM IST
New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India is expected to keep key policy rates unchanged at its upcoming monetary policy review meeting, slated during February 4-6, 2026, according to Crisil.The monetary policy committee had reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points in its December meeting to 5.25 per cent. Their policy stance remained neutral, indicating a data-dependent approach going ahead."We expect the RBI to stay put on policy rates given the creep up in inflation," Crisil said in a report.India's retail inflation rose from 0.71 per cent in November to 1.33 per cent in December, marking a moderate uptick. Though it remained below the RBI's target range of 2-4 per cent.RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra in December characterised India's current macroeconomic moment as a "rare goldilocks period", which currently marks high economic growth and exceptionally low inflation. Given strong growth reported inthe July-September quarter, the RBI raised its GDP growth projection at 7.3 per cent for the full year, up by half a percentage point.Against this backdrop, Crisil expect India's GDP growth to moderate to 6.7 per cent next fiscal compared with the first advance estimate of 7.4 per cent this fiscal."Challenging global trade environment, moderating domestic fiscal support and waning support from statistical factors, namely a low base and this fiscal's low deflator, are expected to drag growth next fiscal. However, nominal growth is expected to be higher due to rising inflation," Crisil said.The National Statistics Office's first advance estimates pegged real GDP growth at 7.4 per cent for this fiscal 2025-26, compared with 6.5 per cent last fiscal.Moving on to inflation, Crisil expects India's retail inflation to rise to 5.0 per cent next fiscal 2026-27 from an estimated 2.5 per cent in the current fiscal 2025-26."Low food inflation of this fiscal should lend a statistical lift to inflation next year. However, softer commodity prices and continued impact of the Goods and Services Tax rationalisation should keep inflation within the RBI's target band," it said.Crisil also gave a view on crude oil prices. It expects crude oil prices to remain benign this fiscal, averaging USD 62-67 per barrel.In calendar 2026, it sees prices averaging USD 60-65 per barrel. Brent crude oil prices fell to USD 62.7 per barrel average in December, down 1.4 per cent month-on-month and 15.1 per cent year-on-year.At the time of filing this report, crude oil traded at USD 59 per barrel.
