NEW DELHI – Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday called India's 7.8% GDP growth in the first quarter of the financial year 2026-27 (Apr-Mar) a "herculean feat" in a post on social media platform X. "The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties," Modi said. "Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed... yet again!" he added.
India's real GDP grew 7.8% in Apr-Jun, up from 6.9% a year earlier, beating the Reserve Bank of India's estimate of 7%, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation Monday. End
