India Adopts Double Deflation Method to Enhance GDP Measurement Accuracy
India's revised GDP series incorporates double deflation, a method that separately adjusts output and input prices to measure real economic growth more accurately. This approach addresses differences in price movements, especially during supply shocks, and aligns with international standards. Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Ashok Kumar Lahiri stated that implementing double deflation is feasible and not contentious, while some experts have raised concerns about inconsistencies with other economic indicators. The methodology aims to improve GDP measurement precision.
