New Delhi, June 5, 2026: India’s economy recorded a robust growth rate of 7.7% during the financial year 2025-26, up from 7.1% in 2024-25, according to official data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI).
The latest figures show that the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 7.8% in the January-March quarter of FY 2025-26, reflecting sustained economic momentum driven by strong domestic demand, investment activity, and sectoral performance.
According to the government estimates, nominal GDP, which measures economic output at current market prices, reached ₹346.36 lakh crore in 2025-26, compared with ₹318.07 lakh crore in the previous fiscal year, registering a growth rate of 8.9%.
The higher annual growth rate underscores India’s position as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies. Economic activity remained resilient despite global uncertainties, supported by infrastructure spending, manufacturing expansion, services sector growth, and improving consumption trends.
The fourth-quarter performance contributed significantly to the overall annual growth figure, indicating continued strength in economic fundamentals during the closing months of the fiscal year.
Economists noted that the sustained growth trajectory reflects the impact of ongoing reforms, public investment, and increasing economic activity across key sectors. The rise in nominal GDP also highlights the expansion of the overall size of the Indian economy during the year.
The latest data reinforces expectations of continued economic growth, with policymakers focusing on maintaining momentum through investment, employment generation, and infrastructure development initiatives.
