India grew 7.8% between April and June, more than expected
WHAT HAPPENED
India's economy grew 7.8% between April and June 2026, compared to the 7.1% expected and the previous 6.9%. Services, manufacturing, and construction led; agriculture advanced little and mining fell.
WHY IT MATTERS
For every 100 that India produced a year ago, it now produces 107.80. The momentum came from consumption, investment, and exports: it favors technology, construction, credit, and employment, and increases global demand for raw materials.
AND FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO
For a long-term portfolio, India can be an important source of global growth. Companies with business there and sectors like technology, manufacturing, and construction could benefit; it is also important to monitor that agriculture and mining remain weak.
