India's economy expanded 7.8 percent in the March quarter, beating forecasts and lifting full-year growth for fiscal 2026 to 7.7 percent. The result was supported by strong private investment and consumption.
The performance came despite concerns linked to the West Asia conflict. Officials noted that the expansion defied expectations tied to regional tensions. The government has reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing reforms aimed at sustaining economic momentum. Risks such as potential impacts from El Nino remain on the outlook for the year ahead. Private sector activity played a central role in driving the quarterly gain. Consumption trends also contributed positively to the overall result.
