While some world economies are suffering from a slowdown, India is experiencing a surge in its GDP. India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 7.4% for the second quarter of the current financial year. Manufacturing sector experienced the most robust growth with a growth rate of 9.3% versus 7.9% YoY. Agricultural sector growth was reported at 2.2% versus 2.1% YoY.
"The growth in the 'agriculture, forestry and fishing', 'mining and quarrying', 'electricity, gas, water supply & other utility services, 'construction' and 'public administration, defence and other services' is estimated to be 2.2 per cent, 3.2 percent, 6.7 per cent, 2.6 per cent and 4.7 per cent, respectively, during this period," the release added.
Sharp falls in the cost of oil and gold imports are reducing the trade deficit and giving a net boost to economic activity.
