India Economy Thread

umm...So new data is in. We have reached about 350 lakh crore, well short of 400 lakh crore. Our inflation is very low and Rs is depreciating (w.r.t to dollar) faster than our inflation! So we have stagnated (or might even shrunk) in USD terms. Soon we will have better picture.

Also, revision has not increased GDP size by any real value. But it is more accurate now.

Bad news is we revised it down by a few billion dollars and kept the growth rate higher. Our inflation data was wrong and the inflation was actually lower the government spent money giving freebies only to take up debt and affect growth absolute shit show.

It's a perfect shit show. We are not exporting nation. We spend. Weak inflation means weak demand.

Imagine crying over lack of inflation. Lost 7% nominal growth to inflation. On the other hand, things are looking up. Growth numbers are going up (7.4% expected this year) plus inflation has reached 2.5%. So we be hitting 10% nominal soon.

This budget has less freebies. May 2026-27 be year of change!

I hope RBI cut rates down to boost consumption. Cuz wtf are these interest rates with such a low inflation.
 
India GDP $3.8t for 2025-26 after rebasing. Well short of 4t. Usually rebasing increase GDP.

Growth numbers are still BS. Modi love to manipulate GDP but reality on ground will eventually caught up. Rahil Gandhi will fix India GDP.

Why would rebasing increase GDP? In India's case inflation was over counted that led to downward revision, while exchange rate depreciation led to decline in nominal GDP numbers.

It didn't really change anything offline, in terms of actual *real* economic output. 8% GDP growth isn't anything great when potential exists for double digit growth as visible by low inflation numbers, that he will have to fake them. Denial won't change it.

And nominal GDP in USD terms is measured using average exchange rate over that period of time, not spot rates. So, $4 trillion.

At least we got highly accurate GDP numbers, without making shit up.

Looks like India is heading back to 6th largest economy. What a embarrassment for Modi regime. And many Indian economists still don't believe these numbers.

No we aren't. When you post a link read it, it says India will take longer to overtake Japan compared to what was expected to be in 2026.

  5. UK
  6. India
This is current ranking of world GDP after latest rebasing. Thats why it would have been better to keep quite for few years. Next time I will advice Modi bakhts to wait 5 years after passing any country GDP before screaming from rooftops.

Only a 3.3% downward revision . Not a huge impact.

2% actually. Aren't we glad that we are one of the few poor countries not faking our data?
At the rate we are proceeding, we will hit 4.6 trillion by 2030. Good enough for me. We are doubling our purchasing power every 10 years. Most significant in my opinion.
 
By my estimate, we would finish the financial year at 3.92 trillion so still at 5th place and missing 4 trillion by close margin. Lack of high nominal growth plus falling Rs is doing a number on GDP in USD.

P.S: I revised my earlier estimate. We will come very close to 5 trillion USD by 2030 but still missing it unless we see drastic improvement in export or increase in demand.

Says you. Read some random ass X post and believed it as truth. Came here to celebrate but alas.
After rebasing India's Nominal GDP was revised down by about $150 billion the difference between UK and India was $500 billion before now we are $300+B ahead. You should stick to your own economy instead of trying to figure out major economy like ours. And maybe read more, our growth is still 7.6% revised up with a CPI inflation of 2.75%. We are still the 5th largest economy. Jog on!
