Rationale
All three components check out for the broadcast date. India was the fastest-growing major economy per OECD, FY2025-26 GDP growth was 7.7%, and June 2026 gross GST collections rose 13.9% YoY to Rs 1,94,812 crore, which rounds to the stated 1.95 lakh crore (many outlets round it to 1.94). Minor rounding aside, the figures are accurate.
