India's Economy Grows 7.8% in Q4 FY26, Full-Year Growth at 7.7%
India's economy grew 7.8% in Q4 FY26 and 7.7% for the full fiscal year, surpassing many forecasts despite global uncertainties including geopolitical tensions and rising energy costs. Growth was driven by strong domestic demand, government spending, and robust performance in the secondary and tertiary sectors, while agriculture showed moderate expansion. The Reserve Bank of India has lowered its FY27 growth forecast to 6.6%, citing external risks, but the government and economists remain optimistic about a return to over 7% growth by FY28 with macroeconomic stability and improved global conditions.
