BENGALURU (Reuters) -India’s economy likely grew 7.3% in the July–September quarter, according to a Reuters poll of economists, underpinned by strong rural and government expenditure even as private capital spending remained subdued.

Household consumption, which accounts for roughly 60% of the economy, strengthened in the previous quarter as rural spending improved on better agricultural output. Urban demand and private investment continued to lag, suggesting uneven growth in Asia’s third-largest economy.

Government spending, a key driver of growth in recent years, also likely persisted in Q2 of this fiscal year.
