MOSPI`s Press Note on New Series of GDP estimates with Base Year 2022-23
27th February 2026
Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has released the New Series of Annual and Quarterly National Accounts Estimates with base year 2022–23, which replaces the previous series with base year of 2011–12
As per the International best practices, base year revision is undertaken periodically and differs from regular revisions in National Accounts primarily because of nature of changes
In Annual revisions, changes are made only on the basis of updated data becoming available without making any changes in the conceptual framework or using any new data source, to ensure strict comparison over years.
In case of base year revisions, changes are made to:
- Capture structural changes in the economy
- Incorporate latest data sources
- Improve estimation methodologies
- Enhance coverage and accuracy
The Financial Year (FY) 2022–23 has been selected as base year, as it represents a recent normal year (after COVID), with availability of robust and comprehensive data across sectors of the economy, making it an appropriate benchmark for the new series of Annual and Quarterly National Accounts Estimates
- Segregation of Activities in Multi-Activity Enterprises: Improvement in the compilation of Private Corporate Institutional Sector by segregating of activities in multi-activity enterprises
- Improved coverage of Unincorporated Sector using annual survey data to capture dynamics on regular basis
- Adoption of Double Deflation and Volume/Single Extrapolation: Use of Double Deflation in Agriculture and Manufacturing sector. Use of Volume/Single extrapolation in remaining sectors
- Improved Benchmarking method for Quarterly National Accounts Series: Proportional Denton Benchmarking method has replaced the Pro-Rata method of benchmarking in previous series
- Incorporation of Updated Rates and Ratios from Recent Surveys and Studies: Updated rates and ratios are drawn from various surveys, as well as from methodological studies undertaken by MoSPI in collaboration with various expert institutions
