India’s economic growth is expected to have slowed to 7.1% year-on-year during the April–June quarter of 2026, according to a Reuters poll of economists. This compares with 7.8% growth recorded in the previous quarter.
Economists attributed the expected moderation partly to subdued private investment, although consumer spending and government expenditure continued to support economic activity. Strong exports also provided support to overall growth.
Rising crude oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty remain key risks for India’s economy. Despite the expected slowdown, India continues to be among the world’s fastest-growing major economies
