Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday while commenting on Q4 GDP growth said that India has sustained its growth momentum as fastest growing economy for fourth year in a row.

India’s economic growth in Q4 beat estimates after accelerating to 7.4% but it couldn’t save the economy from posting its slowest growth since Covid-era in FY25. The economy in 2024-25 hit a four-year low of 6.5 per cent, slowing down sharply from the 9.2 per cent growth recorded in FY24.

“India sustains growth momentum as fastest growing economy for fourth year in a row,” said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The Union Minister added that the country’s manufacturing activity has been good during fourth quarter.
