Government Issues Uniform Guidelines for States' GDP with 2022-23 Base Year

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has issued uniform guidelines for calculating states' Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) using the revised base year 2022-23. This update aligns with the national accounts' base year change to better reflect the current economic structure through modern data and international standards. The standardized framework aims to enhance accuracy, consistency, and comparability of regional economic performance, supporting fiscal planning and inter-state comparisons. Currently, most states use the 2011-12 base year, with efforts underway to onboard all states and Union Territories to the new series.
