India’s GDP increases to 7.6% in July-September

Live Mint  

India retained the tag of the world's fastest-growing major economy, with its GDP expanding by a faster-than-expected rate of 7.6 per cent in the July-September quarter on booster shots from government spending and manufacturing. Gross domestic product, or GDP, growth of 7.6 per cent beat most estimates, including 6.5 per cent projected by the Reserve Bank of India. Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran said the economic growth momentum will continue in the December quarter and the Indian economy will comfortably grow at 6.5 per cent in the current fiscal. "The 2Q FY24 real GDP growth at 7.6 per cent confirms that the Indian economy is well on course to meet, if not exceed, the annual growth target for FY24 at 6.5 per cent as projected by the RBI earlier in October 2023," said EY India Chief Policy Advisor DK Srivastava.
