- India's economy grew 7.8% in the April-June quarter, exceeding market expectations of 7.3% as strong investment helped offset the impact of the Iran war.
- Investment grew nearly 12% while the financial services sector increased 12.1%, demonstrating expansion across key economic drivers despite rising energy costs from the West Asia conflict.
- While slower than the revised 8.6% recorded in January-March, this growth surpassed The Reserve Bank projection of 7%. Loan growth reached 18.3% by the end of the April-June quarter.

- Projections suggest 6.4% growth in July-September and 6.5% in October-December, with The Reserve Bank forecasting 6.7% growth for FY27 as momentum continues through ongoing geopolitical tensions.
