Country's GDP reached a new peak!! PM Modi is proud!!
GDP helps to know the economic status of a country. In that way, the central government has reported that India's GDP has grown by 8.4% in the third quarter of the current financial year. The Union Ministry of Statistics and Planning has released the GDP data for the third quarter of the financial year ending december 2024. According to this, the country's GDP has grown by 8.4%. This is due to the strong performance of the construction and manufacturing sectors. The government said it is optimistic that full-year GDP will come in higher than previously forecast at 7.3%, as third-quarter GDP grew more than expected.
Growth from 4.3% to 8.4%: GDP growth was good in a year as against 4.3% in the same period last year. The double-digit growth rate of the construction sector (10.7%), followed by the growth rate of the manufacturing sector (8.5%) contributed to the GDP growth. Apart from that, in the last 6 quarters, this quarter has seen the highest GDP growth of 8.4%. Earlier, India's GDP was estimated at 13.2% in the first quarter of FY2022-23. In this regard, prime minister Modi posted on his X page that the 8.4% GDP growth recorded in the third quarter of 2023-24 shows the strength and potential of the indian economy. He said it would help 140 crore indians live a better life and create a developed India.
