Crisil Intelligence hosted the tenth edition of its flagship annual India Outlook Conclave on March 11, 2026.

The theme this year was ‘Trade, tariffs, tenacity, traction; Tracing the next phase of India's growth’. 

India will enter the new fiscal year from a position of strength and in a dynamic macroeconomic environment that will shape sentiment and capital flows. Renewed geopolitical frictions and shifting trade dynamics are keeping the uncertainty quotient high. However, India is poised to remain the fastest-growing large economy, backed by resilient domestic demand, conducive policy support and growth-centric reforms acting as the principal counterweight to global volatility. Amid this, it was imperative to analyse:

- Outlook on India and advanced economies 
- Evolution of global trade amid realignment of supply chains 
- Impact of the renewed tensions in the Middle East

The conclave focused on recovery in private consumption, supportive monetary policy conditions, and continued thrust in manufacturing and services sectors.

The event also saw the launch of the Crisil India Outlook 2026, a comprehensive compilation of insights on macroeconomic growth and trends, the medium-to-long term outlook and the drivers thereof.

Our report sews the disparate strands together, delving into trade and tariffs shaping the external playing field, tenacity strengthening the domestic engine, and the traction building in key sectors, to deliver an actionable macro view.
