Claim

India became the world's fastest-growing economy, growing at 7.7% in 2025-26, with strong performance from the services and manufacturing sectors.

“दुनिया में सबसे तेजी से बढ़ती अर्थव्यवस्था वाला देश बना भारत साल 2025-26 में 7.7% की दर से बढ़ी अर्थव्यवस्था। सर्विस और मैन्युफैक्चरिंग सेक्टर ने शानदार प्रदर्शन किया।”

Rationale

Official provisional estimates from India's NSO/MoSPI and Trading Economics report full-year FY2025-26 real GDP growth at 7.7% (revised up from an earlier 7.4%-7.6% after a GDP-calculation framework revamp), matching the quoted figure. The OECD and World Bank confirm India remained the world's fastest-growing major economy, and both the services and manufacturing sectors posted strong (roughly 9-10%) growth. The claim aligns with primary government data as of the 2026-07-03 broadcast date.
