India’s economy is projected to have expanded by 8.1 per cent in the third quarter of the ongoing financial year, according to a research report released on Tuesday by State Bank of India.
The report highlights that various high-frequency indicators point to sustained resilience in economic activity during the quarter ending December 31, 2025. It emphasizes that despite persistent global challenges and external uncertainties, the domestic economy has maintained a robust growth trajectory, reflecting strong underlying fundamentals and steady momentum across key sectors.
The report said rural consumption continues to remain robust, backed by encouraging trends in both farm and non-farm sectors. It also observed that urban consumption has recorded a steady uptick since the last festive season, supported by fiscal stimulus. The assessment comes at a time when India is set to revise its GDP base year from 2011-12 to 2022-23. The new GDP series is scheduled to be released on 27th February 2026.
