गुरुवार को जारी एक रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि इस वित्त वर्ष की पहली तिमाही (वित्त वर्ष 26 की पहली तिमाही) में भारत की जीडीपी 6.8 प्रतिशत से 7 प्रतिशत के बीच बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। ऐसा उच्च विवेकाधीन खर्च के कारण होगा, जो देश में मांग-आधारित विकास को गति देगा।

India’s GDP is expected to grow between 6.8 per cent-7 per cent in the first quarter this fiscal (Q1 FY26), due to higher discretionary spending which will drive demand-led growth in the country, a report said on Thursday.

The gross value added (GVA) growth is estimated at 6.5 per cent for the quarter, SBI Research said, adding that the gap between real and nominal growth will significantly narrow in Q1 FY26.

The domestic airline industry is expected to see an operating profit at 11-14 per cent to Rs 20,000-21,000 crore this fiscal (FY26), a report stated on Thursday.

The second half of this fiscal, which typically accounts for 50-55 per cent of annual traffic, is expected to see faster growth, Crisil Ratings said in its report.

However, this fiscal year, the growth is expected to remain moderate compared to Rs 23,500 crore in the last fiscal year, due to muted demand in the first quarter and an anticipated decline in yields, the report stated.

This contrasts with the strong recovery seen in the three fiscals post the Covid-19 pandemic.
