India's economic growth falls to 4.5% in July-September from 7% year ago

India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the three months ending September 2019 (Q2FY20) fell to 4.5%, down from 5.0% in the previous three months and 7% for the corresponding period of 2018 as consumer spending and private investment weakened further and a global slowdown impacted exports growth. This was the lowest reading since 4.3% recorded for the January-March quarter of 2013. With this reading, India's economic growth fell for the sixth straight quarter.
