Indian economic growth likely slowed to 7.1% in April-June quarter: Reuters poll
India's GDP growth slowed to 7.1% in Q1 FY25 (April-June) per a Reuters poll, driven by consumer spending and government expenditure while private investment remained weak. Rising crude oil prices pose inflation risks and could strain household budgets. Economists expect growth momentum to decelerate further in coming quarters. The RBI is projected to keep interest rates unchanged for six months, signaling a pause in monetary tightening.
