The First Advance Estimates released by the National Statistics Office indicate that India’s real GDP growth rate for the financial year 2025–26 is projected at 7.4 percent. Real GDP measures economic growth after adjusting for inflation, reflecting the actual expansion in output. This estimate is significant as it guides policy decisions by the government and the Reserve Bank of India, influences investor confidence, and helps assess economic momentum. The strong growth projection reinforces India’s position as one of the fastest-growing major economies, driven largely by robust performance in the services and manufacturing sectors.
