Experts Discuss India's Q1 GDP Growth, Data Methodology, and Economic Outlook
India's GDP growth of 7.8% in Q1 FY27 is supported by improved statistical methodology aligning with global standards, though some experts question the accuracy of consumption and investment data. JP Morgan's Jahangir Aziz highlights issues with investment deflators and the lack of a retail sales survey, while Neelkanth Mishra notes vibrant demand in sectors like steel and cement, viewing the economy as dynamic despite concerns over real wage growth and stock market performance. Energy prices pose a risk, with government fiscal measures currently cushioning the impact.
