New Delhi, June 5: India registered a GDP growth rate of 7.7 percent in the January to March quarter of 2026, reflecting continued economic momentum despite global uncertainties.
Data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on Friday showed that the country’s growth rate improved from 7.1 percent recorded during the corresponding period last year.
According to official estimates, India’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached Rs. 323.12 lakh crore in the financial year ending March 2026.
Nominal GDP also recorded growth, rising by 8.9 percent to Rs. 346.36 lakh crore during the same period.
Government sources said the estimates were prepared using data from multiple sectors, including industrial production, GST collections, corporate earnings, vehicle sales, freight transportation, telecommunications, banking activities, tax revenues and trade performance.
Officials noted that the latest calculations were based on revised GDP estimates that use 2022-23 as the new base year.
The stronger performance comes at a time when several global economies continue to face challenges arising from geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures and trade uncertainties.
The government is expected to release GDP figures for the first quarter of the current financial year, covering the April to June period, on August 31.
Economists and policymakers will closely monitor the upcoming data to assess the sustainability of India’s growth momentum in the coming months.
