SBI Research Projects 8% GDP Growth for India in Q1 FY27, Exceeding RBI Forecast
SBI Research projects India's GDP growth at 8% for Q1 FY27, surpassing the Reserve Bank of India's 7% forecast. The estimate is supported by acceleration in 86% of 54 high-frequency indicators across agriculture, industry, and services. Consumption, credit growth, and government capital expenditure remain strong despite external challenges like the West Asia crisis. Industrial activity is broadly satisfactory, and services, including exports and transport, contribute significantly to growth. Improved monsoon conditions and resilient demand suggest continued momentum beyond the quarter.
