Back home, India’s growth story continues to impress. The Economic Survey 2026 pegged FY27 GDP growth at 6.8–7.2%, with potential growth around 7%. It described India as an “oasis of stability,” highlighting benign inflation, strong public finances, resilient external balances and firm growth momentum, even as it noted concerns over the rupee and global spillover risks.
The Survey also emphasised that Swadeshi has moved from a slogan to a strategic imperative, marking India’s transition from import substitution to global indispensability. Meanwhile, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said global energy uncertainty presents opportunities for India to strengthen supply security and partnerships, as the government diversifies crude sourcing and builds resilience against geopolitical disruptions.
On the markets front, Indian equities ended higher, with the Nifty reclaiming the 25,400 mark, led by L&T, Tata Steel and Coal India. Corporate results were mixed: Dabur delivered steady growth supported by rural demand, ITC reported a 6% drop in profit but announced an interim dividend, and Tesla posted its first annual sales decline, although its Q4 performance exceeded expectations.
