According to the agency’s chief economist Aditi Nayar, GDP growth was up from 0.40% in the December quarter. The agency has also projected gross value-added (GVA) growth at 3% in Q4, up from 1% in Q3.
“We have forecast GDP growth to trail the GVA expansion in Q4, on account of the assessed impact of the back-ended release of subsidies by the government. Given the latter, we believe the trend in the GVA performance may be a more meaningful gauge of the economic recovery in Q4,” Nayar said as quoted by the Press Trust of India.
