India defies Iran war oil shock to keep 8% growth on track

India's economy recorded stronger-than-expected growth of 7.8% in the April-June quarter, surpassing the Reserve Bank of India's 7% forecast. This performance has increased analyst confidence that India can maintain its growth trajectory throughout the financial year, potentially reaching close to 8% annual growth. The growth occurred amid rising global oil prices due to the US-Iran conflict, which initially raised fears of prices exceeding $200 per barrel. However, oil prices have risen less than anticipated, with Brent crude hovering around $95.91 per barrel. Analysts suggest that while high energy costs pose challenges, they may not derail India's economic momentum.
