India’s Economy Grows 7.8% in Q1 FY27 Despite Global Woes, Beats Expectations

India’s economy expanded 7.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, surpassing market expectations despite ongoing global weakness. The stronger-than-anticipated growth was supported by domestic demand, investment, and activity across key sectors. The result offers policymakers some momentum as they navigate inflation, trade uncertainty, and uneven international conditions. Analysts will watch whether growth can remain resilient in coming quarters, particularly if external pressures intensify and global markets continue facing volatility in the months and years ahead for India.
