New Delhi: Indian economy expAnded 8.2% in the third quarter of the current financial year on the back of robust growth in agriculture and services sectors . The growth number was in line with expectations, but lower than 8.9% growth recorded in the previous two quarters, government data showed.
Farm output grew 8.9% over the year-ago period, boosted by strong monsoon rains, while the manufacturing sector experienced a slowdown at 5.6%. The decline in investments, which grew 5.99% in the quarter compared with 17.84% in the previous quarter, remained a concern.
