The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation has released the quarterly estimates of GDP for Q1 (April–June) of FY 2025–26. Real GDP is estimated to have grown by 7.8 percent, up from 6.5 percent in Q1 of the previous year. Real GVA growth stood at 7.6 percent, pointing to broad-based expansion across key sectors.
Manufacturing grew at 7.7 percent, reflecting resilience in industrial output. The construction sector expanded by 7.6 percent, while services led growth with a strong 9.3 percent rise. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing registered growth of 3.7 percent. In contrast, mining and quarrying contracted by 3.1 percent, and electricity, gas, water, and other utilities showed subdued growth of 0.5 percent.
Expenditure trends indicate robust private consumption, steady government expenditure, and a pick-up in gross fixed capital formation, signaling investment-driven recovery. These quarterly estimates provide a critical input for policy planning, fiscal management, and mid-year economic assessments.
