642. India’s Q2 GDP Jumps To 8.2% As Strong Domestic Demand And Low Inflation Boost Growth Momentum
- On 29 November 2025, India’s economy was reported to have grown 8.2% in Q2 FY26 (July–September 2025), marking a six-quarter high, according to SBI, HDFC Bank, and other economic experts across India.
- The growth was driven primarily by strong domestic consumption, front-loading of exports amid US tariffs, and a boost from the GST rate cut, which together offset slower farm output and strengthened India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
- Sectors like manufacturing, services, and labour-intensive industries expanded, while exports grew 5.6% YoY. Analysts project FY26 GDP at 7–7.3%, with the second half moderating to ~6.6% due to global slowdown and trade challenges, while GST reforms and higher disposable incomes support sustained urban and rural demand.
