India poised for strong growth momentum despite global risks: Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley stated that India is poised for strong growth momentum despite global economic uncertainties, supported by improving domestic demand, policy reforms and rising investments across infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. The global financial services firm projected India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 6.7% in FY27, highlighting that the country remains one of the fastest-growing major economies globally. The report noted that easing inflationary pressures, improving rural demand, stronger government capital expenditure and recovery in private sector investments are expected to support economic momentum over the coming years. It also highlighted that India continues to benefit from supply chain diversification, increasing manufacturing activity and steady expansion in digital and physical infrastructure. According to the report, sectors such as defence, renewable energy, semiconductors, infrastructure and electronics manufacturing are expected to emerge as major long-term growth drivers for the Indian economy.

Morgan Stanley further stated that India’s macroeconomic fundamentals remain resilient despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, elevated crude oil prices and global trade uncertainties. The report observed that policy continuity, financial sector stability and sustained reforms are strengthening investor confidence and improving India’s attractiveness as a global investment destination. It added that continued focus on infrastructure development, manufacturing expansion and trade diversification could further improve employment generation and industrial output. The report also noted that India’s expanding middle class, rising urbanisation and increasing consumption demand are likely to support long-term economic growth. However, risks such as volatile commodity prices, global slowdown concerns and external market uncertainties may continue to impact short-term economic conditions. Despite these challenges, India is expected to maintain strong economic growth momentum due to robust domestic fundamentals and continued reform-driven expansion.
