India's economy is estimated to grow by 7.3 per cent in the current fiscal year ending March, powered by robust manufacturing, construction and mining sector expansion - a stellar performance against the backdrop of a slowing global economy and geopolitical upheaval. The first advance estimates released by National Statistical Office on Friday showed the economy is projected to perform better than RBI's projection of 7% for 2023-24 and higher than the earlier estimates of 6.5% growth.
