The Central Statistics
Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, has released
the revised estimates of national income for the financial year 2011-12 and the
quarterly estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the fourth quarter
(January-March) of 2011-12, both at constant (2004-05) and current prices.
 
2. The CSO has also released the
corresponding annual and quarterly estimates of Expenditure components of the
GDP in current and constant (2004-05) prices, namely the private final
consumption expenditure, government final consumption expenditure, gross fixed
capital formation, change in stocks, valuables, and net exports.
 
I       REVISED
ANNUAL ESTIMATES OF NATIONAL INCOME, 2011-12
 
3.    
The advance estimates of national income for the
year 2011-12 were released on 7th February, 2012. These estimates
have now been revised incorporating latest estimates of agricultural
production, index of industrial production and performance of key sectors like,
railways, transport other than railways, communication, banking and insurance
and government expenditure. 
 
4.    
The salient features of these estimates are
detailed below: 
 
(a) Estimates
at constant (2004-05) prices
Gross
Domestic Product
5.               
GDP at factor cost at constant (2004-05) prices
in the year 2011-12 is now estimated at Rs. 52,02,514crore (as against Rs.
52,22,027 crore estimated earlier on 7th February, 2012), showing a
growth rate of 6.5 per cent (as against 6.9 per cent in the Advance Estimates)
over the Quick Estimates of GDP for the year 2010-11 of Rs. 48, 85,954 crore,
released on 31th January 2012. The downward revision in the GDP
growth rate is mainly on account of lower performance in ‘manufacturing’ and
‘trade, hotels, transport and communication’ than anticipated. 
 
6.               
In the agriculture sector, the third advance
estimates of crop production released by the Ministry of Agriculture showed an
upward revision as compared to their second advance estimates in the production
of rice (103.41 million Tonnes from 102.75 million Tonnes), wheat (90.23
million Tonnes from 88.31 million Tonnes) and sugarcane (351.19 million Tonnes
from 347.87 million Tonnes) for the year 2011-12.Due to this upward revision in
the production, ‘agriculture, forestry and fishing’ sector in 2011-12 has shown
a growth rate of 2.8 per cent, as against the growth rate of 2.5 per cent in
the Advance Estimates. 
 
7.      In the case of ‘mining and quarrying’, the
Index of Industrial Production of Mining (IIP-Mining) registered a decline of 2.0

2011, which was used in the Advance Estimates.Production of coal and crude oil registered growth rates of 1.2 per cent
and 1.0 per cent in 2011-12 whereas during April to December, 2011, the growth
rates were (-) 2.7 per cent and 1.9 per cent.The growth of ‘mining &quarrying’

6.7 per cent and 5.5 per cent, respectively in 2011-12 as against 5.3 per cent
and 4.4 per cent, respectively during April-December 2011. Consequently, the
