India's economy grew 6.1% in Q4, 7.1% in 2016-17

India's economic growth slowed to 6.1% in the fourth quarter ending March 2017, compared with 7.1% in the previous quarter, as the government's note ban decision slowed activity in cash-dependent



sectors.

Government data showed the gross domestic product grew 7.1% in the full financial year 2016-17, slower than 8% recorded in the previous year.
