Key takeaways

  • India's GDP growth of 7.6% in Q2 FY24 exceeds estimates, reflecting a broad-based recovery primarily led by robust domestic demand.
  • High-performing sectors include manufacturing, construction, real estate and professional services, many of which are employment-intensive.
  • Despite strong domestic demand, global uncertainties, low agricultural growth and lower-than-expected nominal GDP growth pose risks for India.
