Business Oct 20, 2025

The Reserve Bank of India just raised its growth forecast for the Indian economy to 6.8% for the current year.
According to the RBI's October 2025 update, India's holding up well thanks to low inflation and solid corporate and bank balance sheets, even as the world faces economic headwinds.

US tariffs have impacted Indian exports

The RBI also pointed out that higher US tariffs have slowed Indian exports to America as of September 2025.
Still, they don't see this as a big threat—India's trade sector is steady, and there's room for more growth-friendly moves if needed.
