Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India's economy is accelerating, propelled by the government's strategic investment and demand-focused policies. Speaking on Wednesday, Modi referenced the first advance estimates for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the fiscal year 2026, stating that India's "Reform Express" is building significant momentum.

Policy Drivers Behind Growth

The Prime Minister emphasized that this growth is underpinned by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government's "comprehensive investment push and demand-led policies." He cited ongoing efforts in developing infrastructure, providing manufacturing incentives, fostering digital public goods, and improving the 'Ease of Doing Business' as crucial steps towards realizing the vision of a prosperous India. These remarks follow a December 30 pre-budget meeting where Modi urged mission-mode reforms across various sectors to bolster global capability and integration for sustained long-term growth.

Economic Outlook and Sectoral Contributions

The advance GDP estimates projected a real GDP growth rate of 7.4% for FY26, with nominal GDP growth anticipated at 8.0%. This figure notably exceeds the Economic Survey's prior projection of 6.3% to 6.8% growth for the current fiscal. Gross Value Added (GVA) growth is estimated at 7.3%, driven substantially by the services sector. Specific segments within the tertiary sector, namely Financial, Real Estate & Professional Services, are forecast to achieve a robust 9.9% growth at constant prices. The Trade, hotels, transport, and communication services sector is expected to grow by 7.5%, while Manufacturing and Construction in the secondary sector are projected to expand by 7.0%.
