Government defends India’s 7.8% GDP growth as critics question revised economic data
- India reports 7.8% GDP growth for April-June, but critics question whether the figure reflects the economy’s real growth.
- The debate began after last year’s GDP figure was revised from ₹86.05 lakh crore to ₹80 lakh crore.
- Critics say the lower figure makes this year’s 7.8% growth look stronger than it would otherwise.
- The government rejects this, saying the revision follows a new calculation method and updated data, not manipulation.
