India's GDP Grows 7.8% in Q1 FY27, Exceeding RBI Forecast Amid Global Challenges
India's economy grew 7.8% in the first quarter of FY27, surpassing the Reserve Bank of India's 7% forecast despite global challenges like the Iran conflict and elevated energy prices. Growth was supported by strong domestic demand, government capital expenditure, and robust performance in services, manufacturing, and construction sectors. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman credited the resilience and hard work of the people and government reforms. Nominal GDP rose 10.3%, while gross value added increased 8.2%. Economists expect some moderation in later quarters amid ongoing uncertainties.
