India's economic growth accelerated to 7.7% in 2025-26 from 7.1% a year earlier, government data showed on Friday, although economists cautioned that mounting global and domestic risks could make it difficult to sustain that momentum.
The economy expanded 7.8% in the January-March quarter of FY26, compared with 8% in the previous quarter.
India is now reporting under the new gross domestic product (GDP) series, following the recent revision of the inflation basket, adopting 2022–23 as the new base year and introducing updated back-series data as part of a broader effort to better capture post-pandemic consumption shifts and the rapid expansion of the digital economy.
