The central bank had estimated quarterly growth at 7 per cent earlier this month, while raising its full-year FY27 growth forecast to 6.7 per cent from 6.6 per cent.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Nominal GDP, which is calculated at current prices without adjusting for inflation, also recorded double-digit growth. It was estimated at Rs 88.27 lakh crore in Q1 FY27, up from Rs 80.00 lakh crore in the corresponding quarter of FY26. This translates into growth of 10.3 per cent.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The data also pointed to strong expansion in gross value added (GVA), which tracks the value generated across different sectors of the economy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Robust growth despite headwinds<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Indian economy has sustained growth momentum despite global headwinds,&#8221; the ministry said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The 7.8 per cent GDP growth comes despite a backdrop of global uncertainty and economic headwinds. <!-- -->MoSPI said the economy had continued to maintain its growth momentum in the face of these challenges.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>However, the Q1 GDP figures are provisional and could be revised. MoSPI said changes in input data provided by source agencies, along with improvements in data coverage, would affect subsequent revisions to the estimates.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The ministry said the figures are therefore likely to be revised over time according to the prescribed release calendar, and this should be kept in mind when interpreting the data.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>The next quarterly GDP estimates, covering the July-September period, or Q2 of FY27, are scheduled to be released on November 30, 2026.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>The latest release marks the first official assessment of India\u2019s economic performance in FY27.
