The Ministry of Finance said India’s economy could expand by 7.3% in the second quarter, indicating a robust recovery.
New Delhi – The Ministry of Finance released a projection that the Indian economy is likely to grow by 7.3% in the second quarter of the fiscal year, covering April to June. The estimate, shared with the media, reflects the ministry’s latest assessment of macro‑economic indicators and suggests a continuation of the recent expansionary trend.
While the ministry did not disclose the underlying data, the forecast follows a period of strong performance in the preceding quarter, reinforcing expectations of sustained momentum in domestic demand and investment.
Analysts say the 7.3% projection, if realised, would place India among the faster‑growing major economies for the period, potentially influencing monetary policy decisions and foreign‑investment sentiment.
The finance ministry emphasized that the outlook remains subject to global and domestic uncertainties, including commodity price volatility and fiscal dynamics, and will be updated as new information becomes available.
