Foreign Media: India's GDP growth in the first quarter of 2026 increased by 7.8% year-on-year, primarily driven by strong performances in private investment, agricultural output, and construction, partially offsetting the early impact of the Iran-Middle East conflict. The growth rate for the previous quarter was revised upward from 7.8% to 8.0%.
India is the world's third-largest crude oil importer, heavily reliant on Middle Eastern supplies; the ongoing Iran-Middle East war continues to disrupt energy imports. Additionally, this year’s monsoon rainfall reached its lowest level in 11 years, potentially hampering future growth.
