India's economy set for solid 7.3% growth in Q2

Business Nov 17, 2025

India's economy is on track to grow by 7.3% in the second quarter (July-September 2025), with a big boost from rural areas, government spending, and better export numbers.
Economists polled expect growth between 6.9% and 7.7%, while the RBI puts it at around 7%.
The official numbers drop on November 28.

What's fueling the momentum?

Industrial output climbed by 4.1%, and manufacturing saw a healthy jump of nearly 5%.
Government investment shot up by an impressive 31%, and exports bounced back with an almost 9% rise after last year's dip—helped by front-loaded shipments ahead of US tariff hikes.
Even with global trade worries, experts are upbeat about India's future thanks to strong domestic demand and public investment.
