India Revises Annual and Q4 GDP Data Release Date to June 7 Annually

India's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has revised the annual and fourth-quarter GDP data release date from the last working day of May to June 7, or the previous working day if June 7 is a holiday, starting with FY26 data. This change follows consultations with the Advisory Committee on National Accounts Statistics and aims to improve data quality by allowing time for audited financial results from listed companies and finalized central government fiscal data, which become available after a lag of up to two months. The revision aligns with international best practices and seeks to enhance the robustness of national accounts.
