III. Methodology and Major Data Sources:           

            The compilation of Provisional Estimates (PE) of Annual GDP and Quarterly Estimates of GDP is based on Benchmark-Indicator methodology in which the estimates computed for the previous financial year are extrapolated using the relevant indicators reflecting the performance of various economic and institutional sectors. The Second Advance Estimate (SAE) of the Annual GDP for the FY 2025-26 released on 27^th February, 2026 has mostly incorporated the information available upto Q3 of FY 2025-26. Subsequently, Sector-wise as well as Expenditure-side information have now been available for the Q4 of FY 2025-26 including the updated information on indicators for the previous quarters. Therefore, Provisional Estimates of GDP have been compiled based on aggregating all the quarterly estimates. The major indicators along with price indices used for the compilation of GDP are listed as follows,

 

       Production-side Indicators and Price Indices:

• Advance Estimates of Crop Production
• Production of Inland and Marine Fish

            The estimates of Quarterly GDP as per base year 2022-23 majorly follow the guidelines, standards as mentioned in Quarterly National Accounts Manual of International Monetary Fund (IMF), 2017. A brief of Revised Methodology, Data Sources, and Deflation strategy in the new series of quarterly GDP estimates with base year 2022-23 has been provided in the Press Note released on February, 2026.  The Methodology and data sources used in the compilation will be presented comprehensively in the publication ‘Sources and Methods’ scheduled for its release by August, 2026.

            The Annual and Quarterly National Accounts estimates will incorporate the revised IIP and WPI/PPI series with base year 2022-23, and the updated estimates will be released at the time of next press release of Quarterly GDP estimates for the First Quarter (April-June) of FY 2026-27 (Q1, 2026-27) scheduled on 31^st August 2026.
