India’s economy has been projected to grow at 6.4% in FY25, according to the first advance estimates released by the Ministry of Statistics. This is a noticeable decline from the 8.2% growth observed in FY23, signaling slower economic growth for the upcoming fiscal year. However, despite a sluggish start in the first half of the fiscal year (H1 FY25), the Ministry of Statistics expects growth to pick up in the second half (H2) of the year. This recovery is expected to be driven by an uptick in agricultural activity, industrial performance, and rural demand. The final growth estimate for FY25 is expected to range between 6.4% and 6.8%, with nominal GDP anticipated to grow by 9.7%, a slight increase from the previous year’s 9.6%.

Agriculture Sector Growth

The agriculture sector has shown significant improvement, with Real Gross Value Added (GVA) growth projected at 3.8% in FY25, a considerable increase from 1.4% in FY23. This surge is largely attributed to favorable weather conditions and better productivity. Additionally, the construction sector is also poised to perform well, with projected Real GVA growth of 8.6%, benefiting from ongoing infrastructure projects and government spending.

Rural Demand and Consumption Growth

One of the key contributors to India’s expected GDP growth is the strong rural demand, which is anticipated to boost consumption across various sectors. Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) is projected to grow by 7.3%, marking a significant improvement from the 4% growth in the previous year. This surge in consumption is seen as an indicator of rising consumer confidence and spending power across the country. On the government side, Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE) is also expected to grow by 4.1%, up from 2.5% in FY23, demonstrating the government's increased spending to stimulate economic growth.

Economic Recovery in the Second Half

Despite a weaker performance expected in the first half of FY25, there is optimism for a recovery as the year progresses. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has revised its GDP growth forecast for FY25 to 6.6%, in line with the Ministry’s estimate, emphasizing the positive impact of strong services exports and rural consumption. Economic experts expect that the rebound in industrial activity, coupled with continued agriculture sector growth, will be key to pushing GDP growth towards the higher end of the forecast range.

The combination of strong consumption, government expenditure, and industrial growth is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Indian economy, setting a positive trajectory for the country’s recovery in FY25.
