Moody’s Ratings on Friday (November 28, 2025) said with a 7% GDP expansion in 2025 and 6.4% in the next year, India will lead growth among emerging markets and across the Asia Pacific region.
Moody’s also said that India’s domestic growth drivers underpin its economic resilience amid global uncertainty.
Although the Indian rupee has continued to weaken against the dollar, most 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% in 2025 and 6.4% in 2026,” Moody’s Ratings said.
Its projected average GDP growth in APAC (Asia-Pacific) will remain steady at 3.4% in 2026 compared with 3.3% in 2024 and expected growth of 3.6% in 2025.
On a weighted average basis, emerging markets will drive GDP growth in the region, with average growth of 5.6%, compared to average growth of 1.3% in advanced markets, Moody’s said.
