Emerging from the Covid-19 disruptions, India's economic growth is projected to reach the historically high level of 12.5 per cent this fiscal year and also regain its status as the world's fastest-growing economy, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported. The previous highest GDP growth rate in modern times for India was recorded in 2010 at 10.3 per cent, and the records before that were 9.8 per cent set in 2007 and 9.6 in 1988, according to IMF data.
