New Delhi, April 3 (NationPress) India’s economy is projected to expand by 6.7 percent in FY26, fueled by a cyclical recovery and consistent market performance, as highlighted in a recent report released on Thursday.
Cyclical recovery denotes the stage in an economic cycle that succeeds a recession or slowdown, during which economic activities, consumer spending, and business investments begin to improve.
In the last five years, India has experienced robust earnings growth, with the NIFTY index showcasing a 20 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), according to the Lighthouse Canton report.
As the economy progresses, the upcoming growth phase will hinge on critical factors such as government capital expenditure, tax incentives for the middle class, and enhanced consumer demand.
These aspects are expected to bolster earnings recovery and market confidence in 2025, as stated in the report.
India's investment-driven expansion has been pivotal in its economic growth. While the government maintains a focus on fiscal prudence, private sector investments are anticipated to gain traction, contributing to long-term economic stability.
The Reserve Bank of India’s recent 25-basis-point rate cut—the first in almost five years—signals a favorable approach towards economic growth.
“India’s economic engine continues to hold long-term promise; however, 2025 will necessitate greater selectivity and discipline,” stated Sumegh Bhatia, Managing Director and CEO of Lighthouse Canton in India.
He further remarked that investors must navigate changing cycles, monitor inflection points in earnings, and stay grounded in fundamentals as the global landscape undergoes further changes.
On a global scale, market trends and currency fluctuations will shape India’s financial environment, as noted in the report.
The strength of the US dollar and increasing global trade activity are influencing investment flows, while gold continues to be a favored asset due to its stability amid global uncertainties.
“Moreover, crude oil prices are forecasted to remain steady, benefiting India’s import-reliant economy,” the report highlighted.
In 2025, the emphasis will be on sustainable growth, disciplined market strategies, and long-term investment opportunities, it concluded.
