India's Industrial Growth Driven by Investments; GDP Forecast Exceeds Expectations
India's industrial activity is recovering in FY27, with the Index of Industrial Production growing 6.3% in the first four months, driven mainly by investments rather than consumption, which faces risks from deficient rainfall and El Niño. Manufacturing growth remains strong, led by capital-intensive sectors. Meanwhile, economists expect India's GDP growth for April-June 2026 to exceed the Reserve Bank of India's 7% forecast, potentially reaching 7.9-8%, supported by robust loan growth and positive economic indicators despite global challenges.
