India’s Q1 GDP Growth Quickens to 7.8% as Consumption, Capex Offset US-Iran War Shock
- 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.

- Economists note that while tax cuts boosted demand, the six-month-long Mideast conflict continues to constrain capacity expansion for many companies. The Indian government stated the economy 'has sustained growth momentum despite global headwinds.'
- 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.
