III. Methodology and Major Data Sources:
Quarterly Estimates of GDP are compiled using the Benchmark-indicator method i.e., the estimates
available for the same quarter of the previous financial year (2024-25) are extrapolated using the relevant
indicators reflecting the performance of sectors. Data sourced from various
Ministries/Departments/Private Agencies serve as valuable inputs in the compilation of these estimates.
The sector-wise estimates have been compiled using indicators, such as (i) Crop production targets for
Agriculture Year (AY) 2025-26 and First Advance Estimates of Production of Food grains, Oilseeds and
other Commercial Crops for AY 2025-26, (ii) Third Advance Estimates of Area & Production of
Horticulture crops for AY 2024-25, (iii) Summer Season Estimates of Major Livestock Products for FY
2025-26, (iv) Fish Production estimates for Q2 of FY 2025-26, (v) Financial performance of Listed
Companies based on available quarterly financial results of these companies for Q2 of FY 2025-26, (vi)
Production of Coal, Crude Petroleum, Natural Gas, Cement and Consumption of Steel, (vii) Index of
Industrial Production (IIP), (viii) Net Tonne Kilometres and Passenger Kilometres for Railways, (ix) Air
Passenger and Cargo traffic handled at Airports, (x) Cargo traffic handled at Major and Minor Sea Ports,
(xi) Sales of Commercial vehicles, (xii) Bank Deposits and Credits, (xiii) Premium related information of
Life and Non-Life Insurance Companies, (xiv) Outward Supply of Goods and Services available from
GSTN for Q2 of FY 2025-26, (xv) Accounts of Central & State Governments etc. available for the Q2 of
2025-26, (xvi) Goods and Services Tax collection for Q2 of FY 2025-26 etc. Year-on-Year growth rates
(%) reflected in the few major indicators used in the estimation are given in the Annexure B.Total tax revenue used for GDP compilation includes non-GST revenue as well as GST revenue.
Information from the websites of Controller General of Accounts (CGA) and Comptroller and Auditor
General of India (CAG) have been used for estimating taxes on products at Current Prices. For compiling
taxes on products at Constant Prices, volume extrapolation is done using volume growth of taxed goods
and services. The total product subsidies at Current Prices for Centre were compiled using information on
major subsidies viz, Food, Urea, Petroleum and Nutrient based subsidy upto Q2 of FY 2025-26. The total
product subsidies at Current Prices for State were compiled using information on expenditure incurred on
total subsidies by States upto Q2 of FY 2025-26.
The indicators used for compilation of Expenditure components of GDP relies on a subset of
indicators that are used in Production approach. However, the components like Import of Goods and
Services, Export of Goods and Services, Valuables, Import and Export of Capital Goods are compiled
based on the Monthly Import and Export data, sourced from Ministry of Commerce and Industry and
Reserve Bank of India. Information available on Revenue expenditure, Interest payments, Subsidies etc.
from the websites of CGA and CAG were used for estimating Government Final Consumption
Expenditure (GFCE). The Discrepancy refers to the gap between GDP by Production and Expenditure
approach. The estimates of various economic sectors, as well as expenditure components using different
kind of data sources and deflators, have likely attributed to the quantum and direction of Discrepancy.
Improved data coverage and revision in input data made by source agencies would have a bearing on
subsequent revisions of the estimates published in this Press Note. It is being informed that, Ministry of
Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is currently in the process of revising the Base year of
National Accounts from FY 2011-12 (Current Series) to FY 2022-23 (New Series). Therefore, the
Quarterly Estimates will undergo revisions due to Changes in the Methodology of Estimation at Current
and Constant Prices, Incorporation of Updated and New Data Sources, Updation of Annual Benchmark
etc. Users should take these factors into consideration while interpreting the subsequent revised
estimates. The next Quarterly GDP estimates based on New Series will be released on 27.02.2026.
