NEW DELHI: The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday increased its gross domestic product growth forecast for India in 2023-2024 to 6.7% from an earlier projection of 6.3% in October last year. “Growth in India is projected to remain strong at 6.5% in both 2024 and 2025, with an upgrade from October of 0.2 percentage point for both years, reflecting resilience in domestic demand,” the International Monetary Fund said in its update to the World Economic Outlook report.
