IMF retains growth projection for India at 6.5 pc for FY26, FY27
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) retained its growth projection for India at 6.5 per cent for FY26 and FY27, holding that it is “in line with potential.”
India on Friday reiterated that it is committed to ensuring a crime-free border with Bangladesh, emphasising the need for enhanced security measures and adherence to bilateral accords.
”Effectively addressing cross-border criminal activities, smuggling and trafficking, barbed wire fencing, border lighting, installation of technical devices, and cattle fences are measures that are aimed at securing the border. We expect all earlier understandings in this regard will be implemented by Bangladesh in a cooperative approach towards combating such crimes,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.

The Bangladeshi diplomat was summoned a day after the Bangladesh foreign office summoned Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma following allegations that India was attempting to construct fences at five specific locations along the 4,156-kilometre Indo-Bangladeshi border in violation of a bilateral agreement.
