India's GDP grew by 7.8% in the April-June quarter of FY26.

The manufacturing sector grew by 7.7% and the services sector expanded by 9.3%, powering the overall GDP growth.

The agriculture sector contributed 3.7% growth in Q1 FY26.

The government is retaining its growth estimates for FY26 at 6.3-6.8%, citing India's economic resilience.

Concerns have been raised about weak direct tax collections, which contracted by 4.3%, and the impact of global trade headwinds on net exports.

Economists believe India is well-positioned to achieve 6.5%+ growth in FY26, but careful management of trade barriers and fiscal imbalances is advised.
