India Growing Faster Than Expected
April to June growth was 5.5 percent
India's economy grew faster than expected in the three months to the end of June, easing some fears about a sharp slowdown in Asia's third-largest economy.
Growth was 5.5% in the April to June period from a year earlier. Most analysts had forecast a rate of 5.2%.
That compares with a 5.3% annual growth rate in the previous quarter.
However, there are concerns that a lack of reforms, slowing factory output and investment may hurt long-term growth.
