Indian GDP will grow at a rate of 6.5 percent in the next financial year (2025-26). EY Economy Watch has estimated this.

Government spending will have to increase
According to the revised National Accounts Account data released by the National Statistics Office (NSO) last month, the actual GDP growth rate from FY 2022-23 to 2024-25 is now estimated to be 7.6 percent, 9.2 percent and 6.5 percent respectively. With respect to the quarter growth rate for the current financial year 2024-25, the third quarter growth is estimated at 6.2 percent. This means that the NSO will require an increase of 7.6 percent in the fourth quarter to get an annual GDP increase of 6.5 percent. The report states that an increase of 7.6 percent in the final quarter will require a 9.9 percent increase in private final consumption expenditure. There has not been such a lot of increase in recent years. An alternative to this is to increase investment expenditure, in which capital expenditure growth towards the government can play an important role.
Budget will have to be increased on education and health

The report states that with the growing population and developed economic structure, additional investment in education and healthcare may be necessary to maintain long -term growth and improve human capital results. According to the EY India report, in the next two decades, India will need to gradually increase its general government education and health expenditure, making it close to high-income countries.
