The National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has released the First Advance Estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the financial year 2025–26, along with detailed expenditure components at both Constant (2011–12) Prices and Current Prices.

Real GDP Growth Outlook
According to the estimates, Real GDP is projected to grow by 7.4% in FY 2025–26, marking an improvement over the 6.5% growth recorded in FY 2024–25. This reflects sustained economic momentum across key sectors of the economy.

Nominal GDP Estimates
Nominal GDP (GDP at Current Prices) is estimated to expand by 8.0% in FY 2025–26, indicating continued growth in economic activity and price levels.

Size of the Economy
GDP at Constant Prices (2011–12 base year) is estimated to reach ₹201.90 lakh crore in FY 2025–26, underscoring the expanding scale of India’s real economy.

Methodology of Advance Estimates
The Advance Estimates of GDP are indicator-based and compiled using the benchmark–indicator method. Under this approach, estimates for the previous financial year (FY 2024–25) are extrapolated using relevant sector-specific indicators that reflect current economic performance.
