The Indian GDP expanded 6.2% from the previous year in the December quarter of 2024, picking up from the upwardly revised 5.6% expansion in the earlier period but slightly below market expectations of a 6.3% growth rate. The rate consolidated the softening in India’s GDP growth, which was by far the fastest growing economy in the G20 up until last year, following a prolonged period of high energy and food prices, in addition to restrictive monetary policy and tight liquidity conditions by the RBI. Growth increased for private consumption expenditure (6.9% vs 5.9% in September quarter) and public expenditures (8.3% vs 3.8%), but slowed for gross fixed capital formation (5.7% vs 5.8%). In the meantime, net external demand contributed positively to the GDP as exports soared by 10.4% and imports softened by 1.1%. source: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI)

India GDP Grows Less than Expected in September Quarter
The Indian GDP expanded 6.2% from the previous year in the December quarter of 2024, picking up from the upwardly revised 5.6% expansion in the earlier period but slightly below market expectations of a 6.3% growth rate. The rate consolidated the softening in India’s GDP growth, which was by far the fastest growing economy in the G20 up until last year, following a prolonged period of high energy and food prices, in addition to restrictive monetary policy and tight liquidity conditions by the RBI. Growth increased for private consumption expenditure (6.9% vs 5.9% in September quarter) and public expenditures (8.3% vs 3.8%), but slowed for gross fixed capital formation (5.7% vs 5.8%).

India GDP Growth Slows to Near 2-Year Low
The Indian GDP expanded by 5.4% from the previous year in the September quarter of 2024, slowing from the 6.7% expansion in the previous period and well below market expectations of a 6.5% increase to record the softest pace of growth since the December quarter of 2022. The drop consolidated India's softening momentum after enjoying a prolonged period of being the fastest-growing major economy in the world. The slump was largely due to lower output in manufacturing (2.2% vs 7% in the June quarter) and electricity, gas, water supply, and other utility services (3.3% vs 10.4%), driving value added from the secondary sector to slow considerably (3.9% vs 8.4%). In turn, growth was steady for the tertiary sector (7.1% vs 7.2%) and picked up for the primary sector (3% vs 2.7%), as the stronger momentum for agriculture, livestock, forestry, and fishing (3.5% vs 2%) offset a drop in construction (-0.1% vs 7.2).

Indian GDP Slows More than Expected in June Quarter
The Indian economy expanded by 6.7% from the previous year in the June quarter of 2024, slowing from the 7.8% increase in the earlier period and missing market expectations of a 6.9% growth rate. It was the slowest expansion in five quarters, owed to a sharp slowdown in government spending as the long-awaited general elections drove several usual government activities to halt. Still, gauges of slowing consumer spending also signaled that the Indian economy is resilient to high interest rates by the RBI to a lesser extent, strengthening the case for doves in the RBI.
