The World Bank has raised India’s growth forecast to 6.6% for the current financial year, up from 6.3%, citing strong domestic demand, resilient exports and recent free trade agreements. The report estimates India’s growth accelerated to 7.6% in FY26 from 7.1% in FY25, supported by robust private consumption driven by low inflation and GST rationalisation.
While lower GST rates are expected to support demand in early FY27, elevated global energy prices may pressure household incomes. The World Bank said India will remain the key growth driver for South Asia, with the region’s outlook largely anchored by its performance.

Global Markets:
Europe and Asia market traded lower on Thursday, as investors fret over news that Iran’s parliamentary speaker charged the U.S. of breaching the terms of the two-week ceasefire agreement.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a “double sided” ceasefire, more than a month into a war with Iran.
The ceasefire was contingent on Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran had said that it would stop 'defensive” operations if attacks on the country were halted, according to a statement from Iran’s Foreign Minister. Israel has also agreed to the ceasefire, media reports said.
As per reports, Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf subsequently accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire deal. The violations are the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium and Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, a drone’s entry into Iranian airspace, he reportedly said.
Overnight in the U.S., stocks surged after President Donald Trump suspended attacks on Iran for two weeks, pausing a five-week conflict that closed a crucial waterway for global energy supplies.

EBITDA rose by 5% to Rs 8,543 crore in Q3 FY26 from Rs 8,108 crore in Q3 FY25.
The company recorded an exceptional charge of Rs 2,610 crore in Q3 FY26.
Hindalco said that on 20 November 2025, Novelis' plant located in Oswego, New York, was impacted by another major fire apart from an earlier reported fire that occurred on 16 September 2025. The fire was contained to the hot mill and did not impact the rest of the plant.
Novelis expects to incur costs related to repairs, clean-up and other costs related to this event until the operations are fully-restored at the facility. The plant is insured for property damage and business interruption losses related to such events, subject to deductibles and policy limits.
The costs associated with both the events have been recorded as exceptional expenses (net of insurance proceeds) amounting to Rs 2,610 crore during the quarter ended 31 December 2025.
Profit before tax in Q3 FY26 stood at Rs 2,829 crore, down by 47% from Rs 5,296 crore recorded in Q3 FY25.
Hindalco stated that the impacts of Oswego disruption were partly offset by cost efficiency benefits at Novelis, and record profits by the India business.
The India business continued to outperform on the back of favourable macros coupled with the company’s focus on resource security, value enhancement through new product development, and operational efficiencies.
Novelis registered an improvement of 6% in EBITDA per tonne despite lower volumes due to the Oswego disruption, reflecting its focus on cost-optimisation and operational excellence.
Satish Pai, managing director, Hindalco Industries, said: “We made strong progress across our downstream portfolio with the commissioning and ramping up of key projects including Aditya FRP, battery foil, AC fin-coating, and Copper tubes, positioning us well for emerging growth opportunities.
We have entered the next phase of growth with a clear roadmap to expand upstream capacities across alumina, aluminium and copper with aluminium capacity planned to scale up from 1.3 million tonnes to 1.7 million tonnes, and copper smelting capacity from 400 KT to 700 KT.
Novelis’ underlying performance remains strong despite short-term capacity constraints from the Oswego disruption. The 600 KT Bay Minette project, on track for commissioning in the second half of FY27, will be a key growth driver.”
