New GDP series reflects better data, methods: MoSPI
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has defended its revised GDP series methodology, highlighting double deflation as a key improvement for accurate value addition measurement. The revisions incorporate enhanced data sources, administrative datasets, and reflect structural economic changes. MoSPI plans to transition towards the System of National Accounts 2025 framework, aligning India's national accounting with updated international standards. This development is significant for exams as it tests awareness of statistical methodology upgrades, GDP computation techniques, and institutional reforms in economic data governance.
