India posts 7.8% GDP growth in Q1, outpacing estimates & silencing Trump’s ‘dead economy’ claim

India’s economy grew 7.8% in Q1 FY2025-26, beating forecasts and countering Trump’s “dead economy” jibe. Projections place India as the third-largest economy by 2030 with $7.3 trillion GDP. Job creation hit 17 crore, while manufacturing and services drive growth. Government schemes like PLI, GST reforms, and Viksit Bharat boost momentum as inflation eases, FDI rises, and S&P upgrades India’s credit rating.
