India's economy is projected to expand by 8% in the first quarter of 2024, according to preliminary data, signalling resilience amid global uncertainties.
India’s preliminary GDP figures for the January‑March 2024 quarter indicate a robust 8% growth, the highest rate in the last decade.
The surge is attributed to a rebound in consumer spending, a steady rise in manufacturing output, and a resilient services sector that continues to pull the economy forward.
Economic analysts suggest that the growth will bolster investor confidence and support the government’s fiscal consolidation plans, while keeping inflationary pressures in check.
Despite a slowdown in global markets and supply‑chain disruptions, India’s domestic demand remains strong, underscoring the resilience of the nation’s economic engine.
