India's economic growth likely eased to 7.2% in the January-March quarter, down from 7.8% in the previous quarter, as weaker external demand and softer industrial activity offset strong government spending and resilient agricultural growth.

Global uncertainty and US tariffs have dampened private investment, leaving government spending to drive growth. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to keep rates unchanged at 5.25%.
