India growth slows to 6.7% on lower consumer spending

Hindustan Times  

India's economic growth slowed to 6.7 percent on-year in the April-June quarter, official data showed Friday, as lower government outlays and lacklustre consumer spending weighed on the world's fifth-largest economy. India growth slows to 6.7% on lower consumer spending Friday's reading still places the world's most populous country among the fastest-growing major economies globally. Year-on-year gross domestic product grew at its slowest pace in five quarters and came in below the Indian central bank's estimate of 7.1 percent. Experts also believe that surplus monsoon rains in the second quarter will aid rural economic recovery by bringing down food inflation While India posted world-beating growth of 8.2 percent in the year to March, the International Monetary Fund expects the pace to cool to 7 percent for the 2024-25 fiscal year.
