On Monday, the government released data on India’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of the financial year 2020-21.

India’s economy suffered its worst slump on record in April-June, with the GDP contracting by almost 24% in negative as the coronavirus-related lockdowns weighed on the already-declining consumer demand and investment.

This is the sharpest contraction since quarterly figures started being published in 1996 and worse than what was expected by most analysts.
