10^th edition of Crisil India Outlook 2026
Trade, Tariffs, Tenacity, Traction: Tracing the next phase of India's growth

Crisil Intelligence is hosting the tenth edition of its flagship annual India Outlook Conclave on March 11, 2026.

The theme this year is 'Trade, tariffs, tenacity, traction: Tracing the next phase of India’s growth'

Over the next five fiscals, India is expected to remain among the fastest-growing major economies, supported by strengthening trade linkages, expanding manufacturing capacity, ongoing structural reforms, and continued policy support. While some moderation in momentum may occur amid persistent geopolitical tensions and global trade realignments, India’s relative position is improving as global supply chains diversify across regions. For this fiscal, Crisil expects India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 7.4% in fiscal 2026, reflecting resilience despite external headwinds. Amid this, it is imperative to analyse:
 

• Growth is increasingly shifting towards trade and manufacturing-led drivers, alongside sustained public investment.
• Expansion of free trade agreements has partially mitigated trade-related uncertainties, improved market access and reinforced India’s strategic and economic engagement
• India’s revealed comparative advantage across sectors facilitating deeper participation of Indian goods in global value chains.

Investment activity remains anchored in fixed capital formation, particularly in export-oriented manufacturing, logistics infrastructure and industrial ecosystem.

Overall, the strengthening of trade competitiveness, expansion of manufacturing capabilities and development of strategic sectors are laying the foundation for the next phase of India’s growth. While near-term momentum may be supported by domestic factors, medium-term growth prospects are increasingly anchored in manufacturing depth, trade integration and global supply-chain positioning.

In this backdrop, the India Outlook Conclave will focus on recovery in private consumption, supportive monetary policy conditions, and continued thrust in manufacturing and services sectors.

The event will also see the launch of the Crisil India Outlook 2026 report, which analyses macro and micro trends, and the medium-to-long term outlook and the drivers thereof.
