India's Economic Activity Strengthens in June Amid Growth and Cost Challenges
India's economic activity showed strong growth in June, with Icra's Business Activity Monitor reaching a 32-month high and Moneycontrol's Eco Pulse rising to 57.3, indicating expansion above the long-term trend. Gains were broad-based, driven by increased vehicle sales, exports, construction, and manufacturing. However, Icra forecasts GDP growth to moderate to 6.4-6.6% in Q1 FY27 due to higher energy prices and input costs. The temporary US-Iran ceasefire eased disruptions, but renewed conflict could impact future economic momentum.
