India GDP Expands 7.8% in Q1 FY 2025-26, Surpassing Market Expectations

India GDP

India GDP India’s economy grew at a robust 7.8% in the first quarter of FY 2025-26, beating analysts’ estimates and reaffirming its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world. Strong performance in manufacturing, construction, and services drove the growth momentum, supported by higher government spending and steady domestic demand.

Economists had projected GDP growth in the range of 7.2–7.5%, but the stronger-than-expected figure highlights India’s resilience amid global economic uncertainties and volatility in commodity prices. Private consumption and infrastructure investment were key contributors, even as exports faced external headwinds.

The data comes as a boost to policymakers and the Reserve Bank of India, which has been balancing growth with inflationary concerns. Experts suggest that sustaining this momentum will require continued reforms, fiscal discipline, and further revival in rural demand.
