Construction and professional services now contribute more than ever: GDP growth in seven charts

Building the economy

A rise in investment demand and higher net taxes helped push the GDP growth to a four-quarter high of 7.4 percent during Q4FY25.

The agricultural growth helped with the recovery, but consumption remained patchy with a strong rural demand providing support. Experts indicate a government's capex push during the fourth quarter helped achieve a higher capital formation, and growth in construction and financial services continued to shine.

A Moneycontrol analysis has shown that the share of construction in the economy reached a 12-year high of 8.4 percent, helped by a 9.4 percent growth during FY25. On the other hand, a third consecutive year of growth in financial services helped increase its share rise to 21.7 percent, highest since start of series in FY12.
