India’s GDP: India’s economy increased by 6.2% in the October-December quarter (Q3Fy25) this year. This is better than 5.6% of the previous quarter (July-September). Economists and D-star experts also estimated that the gross domestic product growth rate in the third quarter would be between 6.2–6.3%, which would be possible due to improvement in government spending and urban consumption.

In addition, the service sector, which is a large part of India’s GDP, has also performed well. Due to which GDP growth can be seen.
India’s economy is gradually getting stronger.
