About This Dataset
It shows the share of private and government consumption, investment (construction and machinery), and external trade. The dataset highlights steady dominance of private consumption, fluctuating investment patterns, and rising trade imbalances. It also records minor contributions from CIS, valuables, and statistical discrepancies over the years.
Data Quality
The dataset appears structurally consistent with clearly labeled yearly GDP columns and sector classifications. Numeric values are stored as monetary figures in crores. Minor formatting artifacts may exist due to the Excel structure, but the data is largely complete with consistent yearly intervals.
Use Cases
Economic trend analysis, sectoral contribution studies, macroeconomic forecasting, historical GDP comparison, policy research, academic economic modeling, and data visualization of economic growth.
Limitations
Values are recorded at current prices and therefore reflect nominal GDP rather than inflation-adjusted real GDP. The dataset may also lack detailed geographic breakdowns or sub-sector granularity.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from national accounts statistics where GDP values are calculated by aggregating sectoral economic output across industries and reported annually for each financial year.
