NEW DELHI -- India's economic growth slowed to 4.1% in the January-March period, owing to countermeasures against COVID-19's omicron variant and rising inflation linked to the Ukraine war, official data showed on Tuesday.
The result for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year that ended March 31 brought the annual expansion to 8.7%, up from a 6.6% contraction the previous year, when India imposed one of the world's strictest coronavirus lockdowns.
