India's Q2 GDP Slows to 5.4 pc, Weighing on Markets; FIIs Offload Rs 4,383 Crore in Equities

India's economic growth slowed to a near two-year low of 5.4 per cent in the July-September quarter of this fiscal due to poor performance of manufacturing and mining sectors as well as weak consumption, but the country continued to remain the fastest-growing large economy, data showed on Friday. 

Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade, impacted by disappointing Q2 GDP growth of 5.4%, weak performance in key stocks, and foreign fund outflows.

 

"The Q2 GDP shocker of 5.4 per cent will weigh on markets but the impact is unlikely to be big since part of the declining growth was factored in by the market after the disappointing Q2 results," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said.
