Nov-13-2026

Describing the Indian economy as a shining star in an otherwise gloomy world, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Ashok Kumar Lahiri said India has maintained its position as the fastest-growing major economy for the last five years.

Further, he said India should be making much more progress in increasing production of edible oil and pulses. He mentioned ‘I am quite hopeful about the economy because India has been this sort of shining star in an otherwise gloomy world.’

The Indian economy has been performing well, with 7.8 per cent growth in Q1FY27 despite the West Asia war. India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world and a key contributor to global growth, the multilateral organisation had said in its latest India Development Update.
