India's Growth Supported by Domestic Demand Amid Global Risks
India's economy is growing strong, supported by people buying and using things inside the country.
Even though there are worries from other parts of the world, like higher prices for oil and food, the government is taking steps to keep things stable.
The economy grew by 7.8% in the first part of the year, and the government is managing food supplies and fuel prices to keep inflation under control.
However, there are risks like bad weather and global tensions that could cause problems.
India's economy grew by 7.8% in the January-March period of FY26 despite global uncertainties.
Domestic demand continues to support India's growth, with services sector activity strengthening.
Global risks include geopolitical tensions in West Asia and commodity price volatility.
Retail inflation rose to 4.38% in June, above the RBI's 4% target.
Government measures to mitigate inflation include strategic food stock management and lower fuel prices.
