India records strong Q2 GDP growth despite trade headwinds
India’s Q2 GDP growth exceeded forecasts as easing inflation, rural demand recovery, and exports helped counter external trade pressures.
India’s economy expanded 8.2 percent in the September quarter of FY26, outperforming expectations despite global trade pressures. Cooling inflation supported growth, with CPI easing to 0.25 percent year on year in October, remaining within RBI’s comfort range. Rural demand recovery and steady export performance helped offset tariff related challenges, reinforcing India’s position as one of the fastest growing major economies.
