India faced a slight deceleration in economic growth during the October-December quarter as government spending and private investment slowed. Despite this, the South Asian nation remains the fastest-growing major economy globally, supported by robust private consumption and strong manufacturing output.
The country's GDP growth was recorded at 7.8% year-on-year, a drop from 8.4% the previous quarter. The revised economic projections for the upcoming years maintain a positive outlook, with expectations of reaching the $4 trillion economy mark soon, as mentioned by Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran.
Amid tariff-related challenges, Prime Minister Modi's administration has accelerated domestic reforms, including consumer tax cuts and labor reforms. A recent interim agreement with the U.S. aims to ease trade tensions. Meanwhile, significant domestic consumption and manufacturing sector growth are driving India's overall economic performance.
