B.

OECD raised India's 2025 outlook to 6.7% on domestic demand & GST reform traction

C.

World Bank projected India at 4.8% for 2025

D.

IMF projected India at 3.5% for 2025

Correct option is B

The Correct answer is(b) OECD raised India's 2025 outlook to 6.7% on domestic demand & GST reform traction
Explanation:
Statement (b) is correct. In September 2025, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD) raised India's GDP growth forecast for 2025 (FY26) to  6.7% from an earlier projection of 6.3%. This upward revision was attributed to strong domestic demand and the traction from Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms.
 Statement (a) is incorrect because the OECD did not cut the outlook to 5.9% in 2025.
 Statement (c) is incorrect. The World Bank upgraded its FY26 growth outlook to 6.5%, not 4.8%.
 Statement (d) is incorrect. The IMF projected India's growth at 6.6% for FY26 (or 6.4% for the calendar year 2025), not 3.5%. 
Information Booster:
 The upward revision by the OECD came despite potential headwinds from higher global tariff rates.
 Domestic conditions, robust private consumption, and government investment were key drivers noted by various agencies for India's strong performance in 2025.
 India continues to be recognized by these international bodies as the world's fastest-growing major economy. 
Additional Knowledge:
(a) OECD cut India's 2025 growth outlook to 5.9%:
 This is incorrect. The OECD raised its outlook, and the figure 5.9% is not relevant to their 2025 projections for India.
(c) World Bank projected India at 4.8% for 2025:
 This is incorrect. The World Bank's actual projections were significantly higher (6.5% for FY26). The 4.8% figure was China's projected growth according to the IMF. 
(d) IMF projected India at 3.5% for 2025:
 This is incorrect. The IMF's projection was 6.6% for FY26. The 3.5% figure is not accurate for India's 2025 outlook.
