2026.08.3110:30:00UTC+00India’s Q1 2026 GDP Growth Holds Steady at 7.8% Year-on-Year

India’s economy maintained its strong growth momentum at the start of 2026, with gross domestic product expanding 7.8% year-on-year in the first quarter. The growth rate was unchanged from the 7.8% recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025, underscoring a period of steady, robust expansion.

Measured on a year-over-year basis, the first-quarter 2026 reading indicates that output grew at the same pace as in the previous quarter when each was compared with the corresponding period a year earlier. The stability in the growth rate suggests that underlying economic drivers remained broadly consistent between late 2025 and early 2026.

The latest figures, updated as of 31 August 2026, will be closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess whether India can sustain this pace of expansion amid shifting global economic conditions and domestic policy priorities.
