Event Summary

Deloitte India released its Economic Outlook report on July 19, 2026, projecting India's GDP growth at 6.5-6.8% for FY2026-27, aligning with the State Bank of India's revised estimate of 6.6%. The report highlights that India entered 2026 with balanced macroeconomic fundamentals but faces headwinds from Middle East tensions disrupting shipping routes, commodity price volatility, and a weaker India — Indian rupee. Inflation, which hit an 18-month high of 4.38% in June, and potential El Niño–Southern Oscillation impacts on agriculture are key risks. Deloitte expects growth to strengthen in the second half of the fiscal year, supported by festive demand, monetary easing, and improving global conditions. The report also emphasizes India's push for free trade agreements to boost medium-term prospects.
