Meanwhile, global headline inflation stabilized at a steady 4.1%. Growth was a tale of two regions: advanced economies expanded by a modest 1.9%—with U.S. growth hitting 2.1% thanks to strong tech outlays—while emerging markets surged ahead at 4.4%, powered by India’s impressive 7.6% growth and China’s 5.0%. Global inflation continued its multi-year downward trend in 2025, declining to an estimated 4.1% from 5.8% in 2024. Outlook Due to the complexities of establishing conventional baseline assumptions in real time, the IMF World Economic Outlook report adopted a “reference forecast” framework. This model assumes that ongoing geopolitical conflicts remain contained in duration, intensity, and geographic reach, with supply disruptions easing by mid-2026, consistent with March 10, 2026, commodity futures data. Under this reference framework: • Global Growth: Projected at 3.1% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027. • Global Inflation: Expected to tick upward to 4.4% in 2026 before moderating to 3.7% in 2027. Indian Economy The Indian economy navigates a complex global landscape marked by robust domestic consumption and historic trade alignments, tempered by external headwinds such as energy price shocks and geopolitical tensions. As one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, India demonstrates structural resilience while balancing growth and inflation dynamics. The Indian economy demonstrated robust momentum, with real GDP growing by 7.7% in FY 2025–26, up from 7.1% in FY 2024–25. This expansion—driven by resilient domestic consumption and sustained investment growth—reaffirms India’s standing as the fastest-growing major economy globally. In absolute terms, India’s Real GDP at constant prices is estimated at ₹323.12 lakh crore for FY 2025–26, compared with ₹299.89 lakh crore in FY 2024–25. India’s macroeconomic momentum remained exceptionally strong, characterized by a healthy balance between industrial revival and services-led expansion: • Gross Value Added (GVA) Growth: Real GVA—which measures economic output excluding taxes and subsidies—registered a robust growth of 7.9% in FY 2025–26, accelerating from 7.3% in FY 2024–25. In nominal terms, GVA expanded by 9.1% to reach ₹314.87 lakh crore, up from ₹288.54 lakh crore in the previous fiscal year. • Services Sector Dominance: The tertiary (services) sector continued to serve as the primary engine of economic momentum, expanding by 9.0% in FY 2025–26 and increasing its share in nominal GVA to 54.3% (compared to 52.8% in FY 2024–25). Growth was broad-based across segments: Trade, Hotels, Transport, Communication, and Broadcasting: Recorded a stellar expansion of 10.1%. Financial, Real Estate, IT, and Professional Services: Grew by a robust 9.9%. Public Administration and Other Services: Advanced by a steady 5.8%. • Secondary Sector Acceleration: The secondary sector grew by 9.1% in FY 2025–26, picking up pace from 8.0% in the previous year. This performance was underpinned by vibrant manufacturing activity alongside strong construction growth of 7.1%. This powerful combination of services-led scale and manufacturing acceleration is actively shaping a more balanced, diversified, and resilient economic structure for the nation. India’s robust economic momentum and industrial expansion in FY 2025–26 were propelled by several key structural and cyclical catalysts: • Sustained Public and Private Infrastructure Outlays: Continued government capital expenditure (cap-ex) on large- scale infrastructure projects—including highways, railways, urban transit, and logistics networks—served as a primary macroeconomic multiplier, crowding in private investments and boosting the construction sector. Archidply Industries Limited Annual Report 2026 • Real Estate and Housing Boom: A multi-year upcycle in residential and commercial real estate, supported by rising urbanization, aspirational housing demand, and government affordable housing schemes, drove strong downstream demand across core industrial and building material sectors (such as steel, cement, and wood panels). • Manufacturing Acceleration & “Make in India”: Policy initiatives, production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, and the global diversification of supply chains (“China+1” strategy) accelerated domestic manufacturing capacity, turning India into a competitive global hub for engineering goods, chemicals, and decorative materials. • Services Sector Vigor: The tertiary sector continued to anchor economic output, driven by double-digit growth in trade, hotels, transport, IT, and financial services, which in turn elevated urban disposable incomes and corporate office space absorption. • Benign Inflation and Monetary Support: Favorable agricultural output, stable monsoons, and well-managed food supplies kept headline inflation soft and within the RBI’s tolerance band. This preserved consumer purchasing power and provided the central bank with the flexibility to maintain a growth-supportive monetary stance. Outlook The year under review underscores a defining divergence: a world grappling with uncertainty, and an India navigating it with confidence. India’s macroeconomic landscape is projected to remain robust, retaining its position as a leading global growth engine despite ongoing international uncertainties and trade realignments. • GDP Growth Projections: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) estimates real GDP growth for FY 2026–27 at 6.7% to 6.9% (with international agencies such as the IMF projecting around 6.4%). While moderating slightly from the high base of 7.7% recorded in FY 2025–26, this growth rate remains among the highest globally. • Consumption and Services Momentum: Private final consumption expenditure, supported by stable rural demand, normal monsoons, and steady urban discretionary spending, will continue to serve as the core domestic engine. The services sector is expected to maintain its leadership role in economic output and employment. • Investment and Infrastructure Push: Continued government capital outlays on infrastructure projects, coupled with a steady uptick in private sector investments due to high capacity utilization levels, will [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
