OVERVIEW OF ECONOMY
A more robust economic performance than was earlier indicated emerges
from revised data based on an updated base year, wider coverage of
goods and services, and the inclusion of tax data to estimate economic
activity. Real growth in India was previously estimated as a change in
volume, but the new series estimates value added at each stage.
The government's initial estimates for Fiscal Year 2014 (ending 31
March 2015) shows that economic growth accelerated to 7.4%. Agriculture
growth slipped to 1.1% in FY2014 largely because the monsoon was
erratic, particularly affecting the summer crop. The production of food
grains has contracted by 3.2% from FY2013.
After growing by 4.5% in FY2013, industry accelerated to 5.9% in
FY2014, helped by a 6.8% expansion in manufacturing. These estimates
may be a tad optimistic, however, as they assume manufacturing
indicate a more modest upturn. The production of capital goods expanded
after 3 years in the red. However, consumer durables continued to
decline. Improved coal production helped double the growth of
electricity generation over the previous year's rate.
