India's New GDP Series Revises Sector Shares and Expands Double Deflation in Manufacturing
India's new GDP series, based on the 2022-23 base year, revises sectoral contributions by formalizing construction's private corporate share and adjusting hotels and restaurants toward household enterprises. Construction's private corporate gross value added (GVA) more than doubled, while household construction GVA declined. Conversely, household GVA in hotels and restaurants increased, with a corresponding decrease in private corporate share. Additionally, the manufacturing sector adopted double deflation in 28 of 30 categories to better measure real value added, improving accuracy over previous methods.
