00:00Yes, as all of us are aware, today the GDP numbers have come in at a very impressive 7.4% in Q4.
00:07This is well ahead of the expectations.
00:10Most persons had expected a GDP growth in Q4 in the band of 6.8 to 7.1%.
00:17So this is a very strong GDP growth in Q4 and the strongest in this financial year.
00:25This also marks a rise from 6.2% in Q3 to 7.4% and this strengthens the thought that India is once again one of the fastest growing major economies of the world.
00:40Growth outlook has remained robust because of domestic consumption, government investment and relatively lower dependence on exports.
00:49Some sectors which have done well are manufacturing, construction, financial real estate, professional services, public administration and defence.
01:00However, private consumption growth has slowed and government final consumption expenditure also shrank.
01:07Going ahead, we see a growth of 6.3% in FY26 is on, but this growth will be a function of continued recovery in domestic demand and support from both monetary and fiscal stimulus.
01:23RBI has given a growth forecast for the next year at 6.5%.
01:28We see this growth as fully realisable and achievable.
01:32Thank you very much.
