India’s real gross domestic product expanded by 8.2% in the second quarter of 2025, marking the fastest pace in six quarters and surpassing market forecasts. This growth solidifies the nation’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, even as it faces external headwinds from rising U.S. trade tariffs. The latest data reflects resilience in domestic demand and sustained investment activity, which have helped offset potential drag from international trade restrictions. Analysts note that policy stability and structural reforms continue to support economic momentum. Despite global uncertainties, India’s performance stands out among emerging markets, with inflation remaining under control and industrial output showing signs of acceleration. The figures have prompted several institutions to revise their annual growth projections upward for the fiscal year.
