India's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew 7.8 percent in the April-June quarter (Q1 of fiscal year 2026-27), surpassing the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) forecast of 7 percent for the period, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI).
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday that the reforms undertaken by the NDA government, together with agile management of the economy, are bearing results. In a post on X, she stated: "The credit for this strong performance goes to the people of India and their hard work. Reforms undertaken by the NDA Government, together with an agile management of the economy, are bearing results." She added that the government remains committed to further expanding economic opportunities for all citizens.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also commented on the GDP figures, describing India's 7.8 percent growth during Q1 of FY 2026-27 as a "herculean feat." He said, "The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties." He further remarked, "Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!"
The MoSPI data also showed that nominal GDP in Q1 of FY 2026-27 grew by 10.3 percent, while real gross value added (GVA) recorded 8.2 percent growth. Real GVA was estimated at Rs 73.82 lakh crore, compared to Rs 68.21 lakh crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
