The Indian real gross domestic product expanded by 7.8% from the previous year in the December quarter of 2025, inching down from the upwardly revised, six-quarter high of 8.4% in the earlier period but firmly above market expectations of 7.2%. Despite the slowdown, the growth rate remained the highest among G20 economies, signaling a degree of resilience of the Indian economy to the 50% tariffs from the United States that were passed in August, aided by an increase in government spending and GST tax cuts to support consumer confidence and private investment. Private consumption expanded by 8.7%, accelerating from the 8%. In turn, government expenditure slowed (4.7% vs 6.6% in FY26Q2) and gross fixed capital formation moderated (7.8% vs 8.4%). Net external demand contributed negatively to GDP growth, as exports expanded by 5.6% and imports rose by 8.6%. With the reading, the GDP growth for FY2026 was revised higher to 7.6%, equalling the highest since FY2022. source: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI)

India GDP Growth Strongest in Six Quarters
The Indian gross domestic product expanded by 8.2% from the previous year in the September quarter of 2025, well above the market consensus of a 7.3% expansion to pick up from the 7.8% growth rate from the earlier period. It was the sharpest annual growth rate since the March quarter of 2024, reflecting the resilience of the Indian economy to the 50% tariffs from the United States that were passed in August, aided by an increase in government spending and GST tax cuts to support consumer confidence and private investment. Consequently, consumer spending growth accelerated to 7.9% from 7% in the earlier period, accounting for 57% of all GDP output. On the value added front, manufacturing expanded by 9.1% in the period, financial, real estate & professional services surged 10.2%, and construction output rose by 7.2%. Real growth was also supported by a softer deflator, as retail inflation approached record lows and wholesale prices deflated.

Private consumption expanded by 7% annually in the period, while government expenditure jumped by 7.4% and gross fixed capital formation expanded by 7.8%. In the meantime, net external demand contributed negatively to the GDP amid tariff threats by the US government, with imports surging by 10.9% annually despite softer fuel prices, while exports expanded a lower 6.3%.
