NEW DELHI:  Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said India is sustaining its GDP growth momentum as the fastest-growing economy for the fourth year in a row, aided by manufacturing by small, medium and large industries, services and farm sector.

She said India’s manufacturing sector has been “good” during the March quarter of 2024-25, which helped clock a GDP growth of 6.5 per cent for the full fiscal.

“India is sustaining this growth as the fastest growing economy now for the fourth year continuously without a break, thanks to the work of small and medium, large industries, which are coming in and making sure our manufacturing capacity, our service capacity are all intact. Agriculture has also sustained us even during the Covid and subsequently,” Sitharaman said.
