India GDP Grew 7.7% in Fiscal Year 2025-26

India's gross domestic product grew 7.7% during the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ^[1].

This growth rate signals the resilience of the Indian economy amid global volatility. By maintaining a high expansion rate, India continues to position itself as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the figures demonstrate that the foundation of the economy is strong. He highlighted the performance of the final quarter of the fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2026. That period saw a growth rate of 7.8% [2, 3].

"India's economy shows a strong foundation with 7.7 percent GDP growth for fiscal 2025‑26," Modi said ^[1].

The Prime Minister said these results were due to the stability of the government and the structural strengths of the national economy. He noted that the acceleration in the final quarter reflects a positive trajectory for the country's financial health ^[1].

"We have achieved 7.7% growth in FY26, and 7.8% in the last quarter," Modi said ^[2].

While government figures and reporting from CNBC and MSN indicate a 7.8% growth rate for the January-March 2026 period [2, 3], other market perspectives varied. Analysis from the Times of India had previously projected a lower growth rate of 7.2% for that same quarter ^[4].

The 2025-26 fiscal year, which ran from April 2025 to March 2026, marks a period of continued expansion for the South Asian nation [1, 2]. The government continues to emphasize that this stability attracts investment, and supports long-term infrastructure development.
