Still the numbers indicate that a remarkable recovery was being made. India was one of the countries which got worst effected by the pandemic. The death toll was never reported correctly, but is believed to be in millions.
Nothing "remarkable".
Europe was doing a recovery of
13.2 and nobody was surprised as it was pretty obvious from the same reasons.
Besides, is as teosanaru said
GDP at Constant (2011-12) prices in Q1 of 2021-22 is estimated at Rs 32.38 lakh crore
GDP at Constant (2011-12) Prices in Q1 of 2019-20 is estimated at Rs 35.85 lakh crore,
at this point, it's still only 90.3% of the previous year. So you need another 10.7% growth just to be even, hardly an achievement when a lot of countries are already projecting GDP numbers at least on par with 2020 if not over.
