India's GDP grew 7.8% in the June quarter of FY27, up from 6.9% a year earlier and above the RBI's 7% estimate, though slower than 8.6% in the March quarter. Gross value added rose 8.2%, with manufacturing up 9.2%, services up 10% for a third straight double-digit quarter, and farm output up 3.6%. Investment demand (GFCF) grew 11.9%, while private consumption growth slowed to 7.1%.
Growth above forecasts despite the oil shock supports loan demand for banks and order flows for capital goods and construction companies tied to investment, which grew nearly 12%. Slower private consumption and weak farm growth temper the picture for consumer staples and rural-facing companies. Strong growth alongside above-target inflation also weakens any case for RBI rate cuts, keeping borrowing costs where they are.
