The Ministry has released the Updated Series of Annual and Quarterly GDP estimates with base year 2022-23 on 31st August 2026. These GDP Estimates were updated using New Series of Output Producer Price Index (PPI); Banking Services Price Index (BkSPI) with the base year 2022-23 and updated data from various administrative sources.

The additional information being released now is mainly related to the adoption of double deflation methodology and consequent negative implicit deflators, its comparison with other deflation indices such as CPI and WPI, gap between nominal and real GVA/GDP, discrepancy between GDP estimates from production/income and expenditure side, comparison of new and old series growth rates, etc. To bring more clarity, the Ministry has brought out these additional questions and answers for the use of various stakeholders as per the Annexure.
