NEW DELHI — India’s economic growth slowed to 6.3% year-on-year in the July-September quarter after a double-digit jump in the previous three months, as elevated inflation and global pressures stemming from Russia’s war in Ukraine took a toll.
Before the release of the GDP data on Wednesday, a Reuters poll of 43 economists had pegged growth in the second fiscal quarter at 6.2% — lower than the April-June period’s rate of 13.5%, which reflected a correction from a low base and receding infections with COVID-19’s omicron variant.
