The Indian economy, it said, expanded at a robust pace in 2023-24 (April 2023 to March 2024 financial year), with real GDP growth accelerating to 7.6 per cent from 7.0 per cent in the previous year – the third successive year of 7 per cent or above growth.

”The real GDP growth for 2024-25 is projected at 7.0 per cent with risks evenly balanced,” it said.

The economy, it said, showed resilience in FY24 despite persistent headwinds.
