What’s next for India’s growth story?

India’s growth story is entering a new phase. As the economy continues to expand, industries across India are evolving, too, bringing new challenges for businesses and opening up fresh opportunities for growth and investment.

Indian banks have remained resilient through a period of uncertainty, but the road ahead could test that momentum. Akash Lal, Alok Kshirsagar, Peeyush Dalmia, Renny Thomas, and coauthors explore the trends shaping the sector—and the strategic moves that could help banks sustain growth and competitiveness.

Beyond banking, momentum is also building in India’s auto component sector. Driven by electrification, smartification, premiumization, and rising exports, growth could reach 7 to 8 percent annually through 2030. These shifts are reshaping demand and creating new opportunities for suppliers and investors, according to Amit V. Gupta, Nitesh Gupta, Bikramjit Chaudhury, Peeyush Dalmia, and coauthors.
