According to data released by the government, India’s GDP (GDP) has registered a growth of 7.8 percent during the June 2025 quarter. This figure is better than 6.5 percent increase in the same quarter last year. Whereas, the GDP rate in the last quarter was 7.4 percent. Performance was under pressure due to industrial development. This growth rate is more than an estimate of RBI’s 6.5 percent. The RBI has estimated 6.5 percent for the first quarter in the current financial year, 6.7 percent for the second quarter, 6.6 percent for the third quarter and 6.3 percent for the fourth quarter.
Because of which the growth rate was better
According to PTI news, this growth is before the US imposed high tariffs on India. According to data released on Friday by the National Statistics Office (NSO), farming-farming (agricultural sector) contributed significantly to this growth. The agricultural sector has registered a 3.7 percent increase in this quarter, which was 1.5 percent in the same period last year. The government believes that in the current financial year, India’s economy will grow firmly, although global economic uncertainties and monsoon situation are also being monitored.
India becomes the fastest growing big economy
India has once again retained the world’s fastest growing major economy. Comparing with this performance, China’s GDP growth was 5.2 percent in the same period. The manufacturing sector showed a slight improvement and recorded a growth of 7.7 percent, which was 7.6 percent in the same quarter of the previous year. The last tallest GDP growth was seen in January-March 2024, when the economy increased at a rate of 8.4 percent.
RBI estimates behind this
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had estimated GDP growth 6.5% for 2025-26 earlier this month. The 7.8% growth rate of April-June is much higher than the RBI estimates, which points to economic strength, although further the US’s heavy tariffs and global uncertainties may also be seen.
