THE HINDU DATED 29TH NOVEMBER 2025.
1. India posts six-quarter high GDP growth of 8.2%
India’s GDP expansion of 8.2% in Q2 FY26 marks a notable revival, driven primarily by robust manufacturing and services growth, according to the Ministry of Statistics. Manufacturing grew at 9.1%, aided by a low base, while services expanded by 9.2%, with financial and professional services rising sharply. The government has linked this to policy reforms and stable inflation, prompting an upward revision of full-year growth expectations to 7% or more. However, economists have raised concerns over weak nominal GDP growth at 8.7%, signalling subdued underlying activity and potential fiscal implications. The Congress criticised the numbers, citing the IMF’s continued low ‘C’ rating for India’s national accounts and a stagnant capital investment climate. The unusually low GDP deflator—implying inflation of barely 0.5%—was also questioned for not matching household experiences of rising prices. Overall, the data reflects both the strength of India’s recovery and the challenges to sustaining momentum.
