India's GDP Growth Slows to Around 7.2-7.3% in Q4 FY26 Amid External Challenges
India's GDP growth likely slowed to around 7.2-7.3% year-on-year in the January-March quarter of FY26, down from 7.8% in the previous quarter, according to polls of economists. Resilient domestic demand, government spending, and agricultural activity supported growth despite external challenges such as the West Asia conflict and higher crude prices. However, softer external demand and subdued private investment tempered industrial expansion, with services expected to remain robust. Full-year growth is projected near 7.6%, with moderation anticipated in FY27 amid ongoing global uncertainties.
