India finance minister says govt committed to increasing capital spending to support growth

NEW DELHI, Oct 3 (Reuters) – India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said the government was committed to increase state capital spending to support economic growth. The Indian economy expanded 7.8% year-on-year during the April-June quarter, the fastest in five quarters, from 7.4% in the previous three-month period. It is projected to grow at 6.8% for the fiscal year amid increasing concerns about impact of U.S. tariff hikes on Indian exports. (Reporting by Nikunj Ohri; Editing by Sonia Cheema)
