The debate over the quality of India’s national income accounts is “ill informed”, as the ‘C’ rating assigned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reflects the use of the 2011-12 base year for GDP estimation rather than any broader data shortcomings, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Wednesday.

A new base year will be adopted from 27 February 2026, she added.

In a reply during the Lok Sabha debate on the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the minister said the IMF has recognized India’s macroeconomic stability and resilience and has projected 6.6% economic growth for 2025-26.

IMF did not question India’s growth figures, Sitharaman said, adding that there is “no misleading data”.
