India to lead growth among emerging markets with 7% GDP rise in 2025: Moody's

Moody's also said that India's domestic growth drivers underpin its economic resilience amid global uncertainty.

Moody's Ratings on November 28 said that  India will lead growth among emerging markets and across the Asia Pacific region with a 7 percent GDP growth in 2025 and 6.4 percent in the following year.

The international ratings agency also said that India's domestic growth drivers underpin its economic resilience amid global uncertainty.

While the Indian rupee has continued to weaken against the dollar, hitting new record lows, most of the rated companies have active currency risk management or strong financial buffers, while investment-grade entities have demonstrated access to international capital markets.

"India will lead growth among emerging markets and across the region, with GDP growing 7 per cent in 2025 and 6.4 per cent in 2026," Moody's Ratings said.

According to the ratings agency, projected average GDP growth in APAC (Asia-Pacific) will remain steady at 3.4 percent in 2026, as against 3.3 percent in 2024 and expected growth of 3.6 percent in 2025.

On a weighted average basis, emerging markets will drive GDP growth in the region, with average growth of 5.6 percent, compared to average growth of 1.3 percent in advanced markets, Moody's said.
