The revised series of key economic indicators — GDP, IIP and CPI — are slated to be unveiled in 2026. The exercise is expected to make India’s economic data more robust.
Saurabh Garg, secretary, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), speaks to Kuldeep Singh about the key features of the new data series. He also allays concerns expressed by some quarters about the “volatility” of data and strongly refutes notions of “waning credibility” of the country’s statistical system. Excerpts:
