  "summary": "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's growth forecast for 2026 to 7%, up from the previous estimate of 6.4%, citing stronger-than-expected momentum, resilient domestic demand, and robust services activity. This upgrade sets India apart from several energy-importing emerging economies facing a weaker medium-term outlook. The IMF's assessment highlights India's improved longer-term prospects due to sustained momentum, favorable demographics, a large expanding domestic market, and ongoing structural reforms.",
