India in 2025–26 emerges as a high priority market for global businesses, combining strong economic momentum, deep capital markets, large scale infrastructure expansion and sustained regulatory reform under the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Real GDP is estimated to grow by 7.4%, supported by rising FDI, resilient M&A and private capital activity, strong IPO markets and expanding global trade partnerships with the UK, EU and US.

Manufacturing, semiconductors, digital payments, AI, space, and renewable energy are central to India’s long term growth strategy, backed by large public investments, PLI schemes and an expanding innovation ecosystem. At the same time, reforms across insolvency, taxation, labour, data protection, FDI policy and sectoral regulations are improving ease of doing business and regulatory certainty. Together with a growing consumer base, competitive workforce and strengthening MSME sector, these developments position India as a scalable, predictable and long term growth platform for global investors and enterprises.
