Indian economy grows at 5.7% in Q1, clocks fastest growth in 2.5 years

01 Sep 2014 Evaluate

Signaling a turnaround for the economy, India’s economy expanded at its fastest pace in more than two years by 5.7% during the April-June quarter of current fiscal as compared to 4.7% growth recorded in same quarter last year. The Q1 GDP growth has been driven by sharp turnaround in manufacturing coupled with strong performance by mining and construction sector.

The manufacturing sector, which accounts for about 15% of the economy, grew by 3.5% in April-June, fastest in nine quarters as compared to a contraction of 1.4% in the previous quarter and a decline of 1.2% in the year-ago period. Electricity output grew by 10.2 per cent as compared to 3.8% in same quarter this year. Construction sector grew by 4.8 % in Q1FY15 as compared to 1.1 % in Q1FY14.

Agriculture sector output grew 3.8% in April-June this year, slightly lower than 4% growth in same quarter last year.  Among the major components of the services economy, communication, trade and hotels have recorded growth higher than the previous year. Trade, hotels, transport and communication grew 2.8% in Q1FY15 as compared to 1.6% in Q1FY14.

Investments seem to have rebounded with investment activity rising at solid pace and reassured consumers have begun to spend again, indicating the worst slowdown in the last decade may finally be over. Gross fixed capital formation registering a 7% growth in the first quarter, against a 2.8% contraction in the same quarter last year. This is the highest growth in two years. Capital goods output, a broad gauge of investment activity, grew 13.9% in April-June, compared to a contraction of 3.7% in the same period of the previous year, suggesting that companies are adding new capacities. Improved sentiment, the renewed policy thrust and a pickup in consumer demand are likely to drive investments in future.
