NEW DELHI: India’s economy recorded a real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7.7 percent in the financial year 2025-26 (April 2025–March 2026), up from 7.1 percent in the previous fiscal year, according to official government data released on Friday.
The figures, published by the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation, show that the economy maintained strong momentum despite global uncertainties, including the ongoing West Asia crisis.
The data indicates that India’s real GDP expanded by 7.8 percent in the January–March quarter, reflecting continued economic resilience across key sectors.
According to the ministry, the primary sector grew by 3.2 percent, supported mainly by strong performance in agriculture and fisheries.
Manufacturing, trade, hotels, transport, communication, broadcasting-related services, and real estate sectors all recorded double-digit growth during the fiscal year, contributing significantly to the overall expansion.
Officials said the broad-based growth highlights the economy’s ability to withstand external shocks while maintaining steady domestic demand.
