**IMF Raises India’s FY26 Growth Forecast to 6.4%, Indian Family WhatsApp Groups Celebrate**
By: TheJestPress.com
In a move that sent shockwaves through the international community and prompted a fresh flurry of “Good Morning” forwards, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India’s FY26 growth forecast to a dizzying 6.4%. Experts say this puts India on track to grow marginally faster than last year, which, in classic Indian style, will be hailed as “historic”, “game-changing”, and “proof that Uncle Sharma was right all along”.
“I always knew India would take over the world economy,” said local uncle and WhatsApp economist Rajesh Sharma. “That’s why I never took out my money from that chit fund.”
The IMF’s report has already led to sudden surges in demand for “India Shining” stickers and “Make In India” keychains. Meanwhile, Indian parents have started appending “6.4% GDP growth” to their children’s marriage biodata, right next to “can cook 23 types of dal”.
The opposition, however, immediately claimed responsibility for the growth figure, while, in a separate press conference, credited the forecast to “favorable planetary movements” and “the consistent clapping at 7 PM”.
Common citizens asked if 6.4% growth would finally lead to fewer potholes, better Wi-Fi, or at the very least, functioning parking meters. “Does this mean my train will be on time, or just that the price of Vada Pav will go up?” wondered commuter Priya Nair, munching on a Vada Pav that she purchased using her digital wallet, which crashed twice during the transaction.
According to market analysts, the IMF’s announcement is expected to boost investments in stocks, mutual funds, and, inevitably, relatives’ dry fruit business start-ups.
In breaking news, local chaiwala Rakesh Gupta has also raised his own growth forecast to 15%, pending the arrival of “that NRI cousin who always pays in dollars”.
