## Key points

- ADB raised India's 2026-27 GDP growth forecast from 6.5% to 6.9% due to strong domestic demand.
- India's GDP growth is projected to rise further to 7.3% in 2027-28, aided by EU trade agreements.
- Inflation is expected to more than double to 4.5% in 2026-27, mainly from food and oil price rebounds.
- A prolonged Middle East conflict could significantly widen India's current account deficit and raise inflation.
- Limited pass-through of global oil prices may cushion inflation but increase fiscal pressure via subsidies.

**Countries:** India, United States, European Union, Middle East
