Goldman Sachs lifts India growth forecast, cuts CAD estimate after India-US trade deal

Goldman Sachs has boosted India’s economic growth forecast for 2026 to 6.9% and reduced its current account deficit estimate to 0.8% of GDP. This positive revision follows the India-US trade deal, which lowers US tariffs on Indian exports. The brokerage also noted the Indian Rupee’s recent strength, though further appreciation is unlikely, and expects interest rates to remain stable.
