India’s GDP growth at 7.8% in Q1, slower than last quarter but quicker than last year
India's Gross Domestic Product grew 7.8% in the first quarter of the current financial year — quicker than the same quarter a year earlier, though slower than the immediately preceding quarter. The stronger year-on-year performance was driven by the manufacturing sector and by broad services categories, including utilities, financial services, real estate, information technology, and public administration and defence.
