India Economy Thread

[Vikramaditya1]

Posted many times and ignored just as many.

Remember you denied all GDP questions at every stage

It doesn't merit a response, which is why it was ignored.

The whole “GDP is fake saar” issue is funny. India was criticized for using an old base year and not using double deflation. So India updated the base year rebased GDP downward and introduced double deflation and now the number is suspicious because growth came out higher. What exactly do you want? India to cook the numbers downward? “2.3% growth only please anything higher hurts muh feelings.”

The high frequency indicators say electricity production 9.3%, commercial vehicle sales 18.3%, goods vehicle registrations 20.1%, capital goods 15.2%, cement 8.9%, steel consumption 8.3%, railway passenger 8.3%.

Household consumption 7.1%, investment 11.9% and most importantly real exports 12%.

But sure, 7.8% GDP growth materialized out of thin air and 3rd world statistics.

And not well.

You spent every other post before ignoring or denying imf data assessment, just tedious deflection and deception now.

It's not sacred and required belief for everyone

Just see what Vikramaditya added to your reply: IMF’s e-GDDS/GDDS and SDDS frameworks. You clearly don't even understand these IMF data dissemination standards, yet you're here giving lectures on them. This stuff needs some technical grounding which you badly lack. Go get some sleep. This isn't your turf. Leave India to Indians.

Let's not talk about worship huh?
Do you have the GDP headlines on your wall framed lol


The imf actually said this...... ringing endorsement?it's not a formal grade

Actually read this



The latest GDP release that we just talked about incorporated both a new index of industrial production, and a new producer price index series, and those two new series should help improve India's GDP estimates,” Kozack said.

“We welcome these important steps that India is taking to modernise its macroeconomic statistics. And we, of course, encourage the authorities to continue to further strengthen the statistical framework and data quality along the lines that they're progressing,






Should help improve


Encourage to further improve

None of you read what the imf said, spokeswoman gave the usual validation for a large emotionally fragile population, hinting at how unexpected the figures are

And then went on to tell India to keep improving to improve the methodology
That's not admission of an outlier outcome, allegedly, with improvements far from complete

7.8% probably would've been higher without the oil shock. India got slapped with expensive crude and gas right when the economy was running hot, yet imports actually fell 1.1% in real terms.

And look at how the energy problem was handled. GoI scrambled barrels from 40+ countries, paid the premium where it had to and kept the refineries running. Gas was pushed first towards homes and CNG. LPG was brought in from more places and refineries were told to pull additional LPG out of their own C3/C4 streams even though that's not the cheap way of doing it. Additional LPG was sourced from the US, Norway, Canada, Algeria and Russia.

That's the reality of running India. 1.4 billion people, hardly enough oil and gas of its own, around 85% crude dependence, millions of LPG connections, trucks, factories, fertiliser plants, power demand and an economy that's still adding industry at the same time.

Yet the country still came out with 7.8% growth.

I'm genuinely struggling to think of another developing country anywhere near India's size, population and energy dependence that could get squeezed like this, rearrange its oil and gas supply on the fly, swallow the extra cost and still keep the economy moving at nearly 8%.

Yeah because they don't release grading report every month , it's not a Loan queue where you arrive every month you know. Last one released in Nov-2025, before India rebased it's GDP and methods.

Good. I don't see any criticism of any wrong metrics being used to boost GDP like those youtubers revered in Pakistan claim. So sit down.

So it's not exactly a formal assessment, it's a very mixed message, release the full data then

The imf expressed surprise

And


Asked India to continue to improve it's methodology




This is something to celebrate...

More rubbish. India is not a 10/10 student, never claimed to be. It's 7 or 8/10. So obviously people will say it needs more improvement.

“India should continue improving its methodology” that's all she said.
But a neuron activated in your brain and you're running with it. I say good luck going with that comment.

You currently have almost the lowest data rating.

Do you know what that means ....nope because then you will ignore the imf


She merely said your published figures are very surprising per consensus expectations and you have made some adjustments and need to keep improving


Your gdp calc has needed constant improvements for over a decade


The reality hurts,at one point you probably thought you would have a kevari indigenous engine......ooops reality caught up

Nope

 

[GatlingGunZ]

It's upto IMF you brain-dead. IMF"s Grade C you yapping about, that report came in Nov-2025. Now wait for next annual report or take a hike while feeling salty about her statement.

More rubbish.
Constant improvements ? Nope, developing countries rebase their gdp in 5-10 years. After 2011-12 rebasing, 8th year was Covid, so India waited for a normal year post Covid to use as base year ie. 2022-23, which it did in 2026 .

You just looked this up lol

I am not stopping you from deifying this glorious win of a statement asking you to improve

But respect the right of others to not be so superstitious
Do you know how Indias rating might improve.... More transparency


Oh look another senior economic official giving prior dated scepticism , another idiot I guess

Lmao, where is the data in above article kiddo,
You can make any of these so called senior economists as your God and saviour, bring them in Pakistan to revive your economy, we dont care.
Since you don't possess enough grey matter, Just feed their logic to any AI of your preference and ask if their logic is solid.
