India's GDP grew at 7.8% in Q1 FY2024-25, slower than the previous quarter's 8.4% but faster than 6.1% in Q1 FY2023-24. The growth was driven by manufacturing and broad services including utilities, financial services, real estate, IT, and public administration & defence. This indicates resilient domestic demand and policy support, making it a key economic indicator for competitive exams focusing on macroeconomic trends and sectoral performance.
