Why we say that›
India's Q1 growth rate matches ministry data, but the full historical chart lacks verification.
The 7.8 percent figure and status as fastest-growing major economy are backed by ministry and OECD data. The on-screen timeline claims every year from 2000 onward and the third-largest economy projection rest on no external sources.
