What India’s growth really means
India's real GDP grew 7.8% in April to June 2026, beating the RBI's 7% forecast despite the West Asian conflict and high energy prices. Growth was broad-based, with manufacturing up 9.2% and services up 10%, while mining fell 2.4%. For business owners, that means steady demand but real energy risks. So review power costs, spread your suppliers, and consider long-term contracts where possible.
