Advisory Committee and Expert Consultation
An Advisory Committee on National Account Statistics (ACNAS), chaired by Professor B.N. Goldar, has been constituted to guide MoSPI on these improvements. The committee includes representatives from central ministries, state governments, academia, and research institutions, ensuring a multi-stakeholder approach to refining national accounts methodologies.
This is the second discussion paper released by MoSPI, following the first paper on production/income-based compilation published in November 2025. The current paper focuses on expenditure-based GDP estimates and is accessible on MoSPI’s website (https://mospi.gov.in/announcements) and the Ministry’s X handle (@GoIStats) at https://x.com/GoIStats.
Pre-Release Consultative Workshop
MoSPI will conduct a “Pre-Release Consultative Workshop on the Base Revision of CPI, GDP, and IIP” on 23rd December 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Stakeholders and users of national accounts data can register for the workshop here.
Invitation for Feedback
MoSPI invites comments and suggestions from economists, academicians, government bodies, state governments, financial institutions, and all users of national accounts data. Feedback can be sent via email to ddg3.nad@mospi.gov.in by 7th January 2026.
The Ministry emphasizes that these improvements aim to provide more accurate economic insights for policymaking and analysis, reflecting India’s evolving economy and enhancing transparency and reliability of statistical data.
