thebalanced.newsMoSPI Mandates 2022-23 Base Year for States' GDP Calculation to Enhance Data Accuracy
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has issued uniform guidelines requiring all states and Union Territories to adopt 2022-23 as the base year for calculating Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). This update aligns with the revised national GDP base year to improve accuracy, consistency, and comparability of regional economic data. The change incorporates modern data sources and refined estimation methods, aiding fiscal planning, policy formulation, and inter-state comparisons. Currently, most states use the 2011-12 base year, with exceptions noted for Lakshadweep and Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman Diu.
