Industry Overview

India was the 6th largest economy globally, with a GDP of US$2.7 trillion in 2020. India's GDP grew at 7% annually between 2015 and 2019, making it one of the fastest-growing large economies globally. Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY23 helped India overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest economy after it recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic shock. Real GDP at constant prices (2011-12) in the first quarter of 2023-24 is estimated at Rs. 40.37 trillion (US$ 484.94 billion), showing a growth of 7.8% as compared to the first quarter of 2022-23 estimated at Rs. 37.44 trillion (US$ 449.74 billion). Given the release of pent-up demand and the widespread vaccination coverage, the contactintensive services sector will probably be the main driver of development in 2022-2023. In 2023-24 (April- September), India's service exports stood at US$ 164.89 billion. Furthermore, India's overall exports (services and merchandise) in 2023-24 (April-September) were estimated at US$ 376.29 billion. Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months.
