RBI Highlights India's Economic Resilience Despite Global Risks
India's economy is doing pretty well, even with problems happening around the world.
Inflation, which is how quickly prices are going up, is at its lowest in almost five years.
The service industry is also growing fast.
The central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, thinks the economy will keep growing, but maybe not as fast as they thought before because of issues like trade.
Also, people's worries about prices seem to be calming down, which is a good sign for keeping things stable.
India's domestic economy showed resilience in June and July, despite global uncertainty.
Retail inflation in July hit a 59-month low of 3.54%, staying below the 6% mark for 11 months.
The services sector saw a 10-month high in output, fueled by strong sales and orders.
RBI expects 6.5% GDP growth in 2025-26, lower than the previous projection due to global risks.
Household inflation expectations are moderating, with the flexible inflation targeting regime helping.
