Expectations
India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
grew by 7.4% in the January-March quarter of FY25, outpacing the anticipated

manufacturing, and increased tax revenues. Despite this quarterly boost, the
overall fiscal year growth settled at 6.5%, marking a four-year low compared to
the previous year's 9.2% growth. Economists emphasize the need for sustained
growth rates of 8% to achieve India's goal of becoming a developed nation by
2047.
