In FY26, growth is expected to take a hit from exports, dampened by weaker activity in key trading partners and rising global barriers. Still, India is projected to maintain the fastest growth rate among the world's largest economies at 6.3%, it added.

Growth expected to recover to 6.6% in FY27 and FY28 on an average, partly supported by robust services activity that contributes to a pickup in exports.

Fiscal consolidation is also set to continue with growing tax revenues and declining current expenditures projected to contribute to a gradual decline in public debt to GDP ratio, the World Bank said.
