Explanation:
- GDP measures the total value of final goods and services produced within a country during a financial year.
- GDP growth is usually reported at constant prices to remove the effect of inflation and show real economic growth.
- Current price GDP includes the impact of inflation, while constant price GDP reflects real output growth.
- In India, GDP estimates are released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI).
- GDP data is released as Advance Estimates, Revised Estimates, First Revised Estimates and Provisional Estimates.
- A GDP growth rate of 7.7% means the economy expanded faster than the previous year’s 7.1% growth.
- Key sectors supporting growth include manufacturing, trade, hotels, transport, communication, financial services, real estate and professional services.
