    CSO expects economy to have grown by 7.6%
    Credits:
  • The Central Statistics Organization (CSO) projected the Indian economy to have grown by 7.6% in the fiscal year 2015-16, higher than government's own expectation of 7-7.5%.

    The economy had grown by 7.2% in FY 2014-15.

    However, the numbers show a deceleration in growth in the third quarter (Oct-Dec'15) to 7.3% as against 7.7% in Q2 (Jul-Sept'15) and 7.6% in Q1 (Apr-Jun'15).

  • Information

    What is GDP?

  • GDP is the standard measure of the value of final goods and services produced by a country during a period minus the value of imports. Simply put, GDP is the total value of all goods and services produced within an economy each year.

  • Indication

    What does the GDP indicate?

    What does the GDP indicate?
  • GDP is the principal means of determining the health of a country's economy.

    Headline GDP numbers are often quoted as indicating whether a country is growing and by how much.

    Governments rely heavily on the figure, to shape policy or determine how much public spending is affordable.

    GDP numbers can also be used to compare the economies of countries or states.

  • Information

    Who calculates the GDP?

  • The Central Statistics Office (CSO), under the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation calculates the GDP of India. CSO coordinates with various federal and state government agencies and departments to collect and compile the data required to calculate the GDP.

  • Calculation

    GDP calculation methods

    GDP calculation methods
  • GDP can be calculated in three ways: Output measure, Expenditure measure and Income measure.

    The method of calculating GDP in India was changed in Jan 2015.

    Prior to revision, GDP was calculated using two different methods - based on economic activity (at factor cost) and based on expenditure (at market prices).

    GDP at factor cost was the most commonly followed and reported figure.

  • Jan 2015

    Changes in method of GDP calculation

    Changes in method of GDP calculation
  • As per the new method of GDP calculation, three important changes were made.

    These include: Changing the base year; Replacing factor costs with market prices; and Widening of the data pool.

    The base year was changed from 2004-05 to 2011-12.

    The benchmark measure of economic growth will henceforth be based on market prices and larger sample data would be included for calculation.

    India's growth fastest but is it really?
  • The new method of GDP instantly lifted the country's GDP growth to 7.3% in FY 2014-15 compared with 5.5% under the old series.

    But a revision in the method of calculation has left analysts and the government's own chief economic advisor doubting how far the data can be trusted.

    Economists were baffled at how the GDP numbers were disconnected with reality.

  • Information

    GDP numbers v reality

  • While the GDP estimates show a higher growth, high frequency macro-economic indicators in the economy, such as bank credit growth, auto sales, factory output and growth in the manufacturing sector that should ideally go in hand with the GDP figures did not reflect it.

    RBI governor questions new GDP formula

    RBI governor questions new GDP formula
  • RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan raised doubts over the new methodology used to calculate India's gross domestic product (GDP).

    The new formula shows India as the fastest-growing major economy in the world.

    Addressing students at Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research Rajan said, "There are problems with the way we count GDP which is why we need to be careful sometimes just talking about growth."

    Agriculture continues to be worrisome
    Credits:
  • All is not good on the agricultural front where the growth has turned into negative territory (-1%) in the Q3 (Sept-Dec'15) owing to 23% shortfall in the monsoon.

    CSO expects the agriculture to grow at 1.1.% for the FY2015-16 much below the 4% target during the 12th plan.

    The industry and service sector are fairing better with 9% and 9.4% growth respectively in Q3.
