India's GDP Registers Robust 6.5% Growth in FY 2024-25, Q4 Surges to 7.4%

India's economy has once again shown resilience and strength, clocking a solid 6.5% growth in GDP for the financial year 2024-25, according to official data released on Thursday. The final quarter (January to March 2025) reported a particularly strong performance, with GDP growth touching 7.4%, indicating sustained momentum in key sectors despite global uncertainties.

India's GDP Registers 6.5% Growth in FY 2024-25, Q4 Surges to 7.4%

The sharp upswing in Q4 growth has been attributed to robust performance in manufacturing, construction, and services, along with increased government spending and steady consumer demand. Analysts suggest that India’s economic fundamentals remain strong, with controlled inflation and improving rural demand adding to the uptick.

Economic Affairs Secretary Also Credited Key Policy 

Economic Affairs Secretary also credited key policy measures for creating a more conducive environment for investment and enterprise. “The numbers reflect the outcome of structural reforms and targeted fiscal strategies that aim to make India a $5 trillion economy,” an official statement noted.

The consistent quarterly growth is expected to boost investor confidence ahead of the next policy review by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Market experts believe that the central bank might continue with its current stance to support growth while keeping a close eye on inflationary pressures.

With global economies witnessing volatility due to geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, India’s strong GDP print sends a clear signal about its rising economic stature and domestic resilience.

Experts believe this performance gives the Reserve Bank of India room to maintain its current policy stance without rushing into rate hikes. While inflation remains a concern, it has largely stayed within the target range, providing relief to both policymakers and households.

India’s consistent growth amidst a challenging global economic environment—marked by conflict, high interest rates in developed economies, and supply chain disruptions—shows its growing economic maturity. With the general elections on the horizon, the government is likely to showcase this data as a testament to its governance and economic management.
