Why it matters

The headline number in the Budget, the Economic Survey and every exam question on India's growth.

What it leaves out

Each year's number moves through several estimates; the table shows which one is current.

Independent check

India's figure and the World Bank's

Over the last 8 years both cover, the two differ by 0.1 percentage points on average, and by 0.2 at most (2025-26). World Bank growth is its own series from national sources; India's figures are on MoSPI's bases (2011-12 before 2023-24, then 2022-23).
