Despite Donald Trump Dead Economy Jibe, India Economy Is Firing On All Cylinders
Currently, India's economy is growing well. Inflation is low, exports are at record highs, and the rural economy is improving. For example, GST tax collections have increased 7.5 percent year-on-year, inflation dropped to 2.1 percent in June 2025 (lowest in years), and rural incomes and consumption are rising. The Reserve Bank of India lowered interest rates earlier in 2025, which helped boost loans and investments without raising inflation.
Exports have also grown, reaching USD 210 billion in just the first quarter of FY 2025-26, with multiple sectors like electronics and agriculture contributing. Government programs and infrastructure improvements are helping small and medium businesses export more. India's GDP grew 6.5 percent in FY 2024-25 and is expected to grow similarly in FY 2025-26, keeping India as the fastest-growing major economy.
Looking ahead, India's GDP is expected to reach USD 7.3 trillion by 2030, making it the third-largest globally, helped by a young population, strong domestic demand, and ongoing reforms. Several Indian states, like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka, are expected to become economic powerhouses themselves, with some nearing USD 1 trillion GDP each by 2035.
In simple terms: India's economy is growing fast, inflation is low, exports are strong, and the government is supporting businesses. If this continues, India will soon be the world's third-largest economy with big states leading the way.

Looking for stable income? Receive Rs 6000 per month with Post office monthly income scheme, eligibility is...
Post Office Savings Scheme Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS): If you are planning to invest your money for a fixed regular income but not willing to take risk in stock market or mutual funds investments, we have an option which is both safe and moderately return-oriented. Amid the existence of market volatility and stock market crashes, the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) is emerging as a safe haven for risk-averse investors. With a fixed interest rate of 7.4% per annum and government backing, the scheme guarantees a steady monthly income for five years. Why POMIS is best for risk-averse investors? As a part of the scheme, any Indian resident, including minors (above 10 years of age), can open an account individually or jointly, making it an attractive option for families and retirees who wish to have fixed source of income every month. How much money does one get in POMIS? For instance, if a couple opens a joint POMIS account and invests Rs 10 lakh, they would receive Rs 6,167 per month, which is credited directly to their post office savings account. Totaling to a interest income of Rs 74,004 annually, the POMIS offers a reliable income stream without any market exposure. Readers should note that the minimum deposit starts at Rs 1,000 and investments must be made in multiples of Rs 1,000. How to withdraw from Post Office Monthly Income Scheme? The scheme also provides limited liquidity. While investors can withdraw funds after one year, a penalty of 2% applies if done between 1–3 years and 1% after that till maturity. Additionally, the deposited amount is returned in full after five years, and the monthly interest can be reinvested in recurring deposit schemes for compounding benefits.

PM Modi brazil visit- Image- IANS New Delhi: In a significant development on Thursday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a telephone call from Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a day after US President Donald Trump issued an executive order slapping 25 per cent additional tariff on Indian goods. As per a release shared by the Prime Minister's office, the two leaders agreed to enhance cooperation in trade, technology, energy, defence, agriculture, health, and people-to-people ties. However, the reason due to which the telephone call is receiving world-wide attention are the recent 'anti-Trump' statements given by the Brazilian President. What has President of Brazil said on Donald Trump? Notably, Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil had said, 'I will not call Trump because he doesn't want to talk, I will call Xi Jinping, I will call PM Modi, I will not call Putin right now because he is not in a position to travel, but I will call many more presidents'. What was discussed between PM Modi and Brazilian President? PM Modi and the Brazilian President also exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement. During the telephonic conversation, the prime minister recalled his visit to Brazil last month, the press release said. Later, Modi in a post on X said, 'Had a good conversation with President Lula. Thanked him for making my visit to Brazil memorable and meaningful. We are committed to deepening our Strategic Partnership including in trade, energy, tech, defence, health and more. A strong, people-centric partnership between Global South nations benefits everyone.' How is Brazil planning to challenge US tariffs? Notably, Brazil is preparing to formally challenge the newly imposed US tariffs at the World Trade Organization (WTO) while keeping the door open to negotiations, a report by IANS news agency said. The move comes after US President Donald Trump announced a 50 per cent tariff on a range of Brazilian exports, including coffee, beef and petrochemicals. (With inputs from agencies)
