Second advance estimates of GDP growth for fiscal 2017-18 shows that India’s real GDP is expected to grow at 6.6% against 7.1% in the previous year. GST implementation is stabilising, which augurs well for economic activity. Early signs of revival in investment activity as reflected in improving credit offtake, large resource mobilisation from the primary capital market and improving capital goods production and imports, can lead to strong GDP growth in the coming quarters.
RBI estimates GVA growth at 6.6% for fiscal 2017-18 and in a range of 7.3% to 7.4% in the first half of next fiscal year and 7.1% to 7.2% in the second half .

Understanding the Revised GDP Numbers after Base Year Change
The Indian economy grew by 6.9% in 2013-14 (fiscal year that ended in March-2014), dramatically faster than the earlier estimate of 5%, as per the revised data from Central Statistical Organization (CSO). The new estimates revise the base year for GDP calculations to 2011-12 from 2004-05 earlier, and also incorporate the international methodology for the estimation of GDP.
We see below what changes CSO has done and how has it affected the GDP estimates.
1. CSO will now report ‘gross value added’ (GVA) at basic prices for industry-level GDP instead of GDP at factor cost that it earlier released. What does it mean?
a) GVA at basic prices = GVA at factor cost + net production taxes
where net production taxes = production taxes – production subsidies
Production taxes are levied as lump sum taxes on production and do not depend on the volume of production. Examples include land revenues, stamp and registration fees, and professional taxes.
Production subsidies are generally subsidies paid to producers on inputs to lower the cost of production. Eg; subsidies to farmers, small and village enterprises, and railways so on.
GVA at factor cost is the same as GDP at factor cost that CSO used to report earlier.
b) GVA at basic prices = compensation of employees + operating surplus/mixed income + consumption of fixed capital (depreciation)
In short, GVA at basic prices uses the income method for GDP calculation – it is sum of income earned by the factors of production, namely labour and capital. This gives valuable information about the share of labour and capital in each industry and in the national income.
These changes are in line with the internationally followed methodology for calculating GDP. For 2013-14, real GVA at basic prices (with 2011-12 base) has been estimated at Rs 91.7 trillion
2. CSO will now on refer to ‘GDP at market prices’ as ‘GDP’
GDP at market prices (GDP) = sum of GVA at basic prices for all industries + net product taxes
where net product taxes = product taxes – product subsidies
Product taxes and subsidies are levied on per unit of production. Examples of product taxes are excise tax, sales tax, service tax and custom duties. Product subsidies are food, fertilizer, petroleum subsidies, interest and insurance subsidies to farmers and households
For 2013-14, real GDP at market prices (with 2011-12 base) has been estimated at Rs 99.2 trillion. For 2013-14, nominal GDP at market prices (with 2011-12 base) has been estimated at a level similar to the earlier estimate with the 2004-05 base – around Rs 113 trillion. Therefore, at the current prices, the size of the economy remains largely unchanged.
3. What are the other changes that CSO has done to the methodology and coverage of calculating GDP?
a) CSO has incorporated updated information from its sources – improved coverage of local bodies, incorporation of the NSS surveys on un-incorporated enterprises and the employment-unemployment surveys
b) incorporated new sources of data – expansion of the coverage for industry and services firms using data filed by companies under the Ministry and Commerce e-governance initiative
c) Additional changes to the methodology for calculating the sub-components of GDP – For example; trade carried out by the manufacturing companies is now the part of the manufacturing sector which was earlier covered in ‘trade’ under the services sector.
4. With the above changes, what was the GDP growth last year?
As per the new estimates, real GDP grew by 6.9% in 2013-14 compared to the earlier estimate of 5%. The upward revision in growth came from revision in manufacturing and mining growth. As per the earlier estimates, both of these sectors had recorded negative growth in 2013-14, but are now estimated to have grown over 5% last year. As a result, the share of industry (mining, manufacturing, utilities and construction) was upwardly revised to nearly 32% for 2013-14.
5. How have GDP growth estimates from the demand-side altered with the revisions?
With these changes in place, CSO has now not only revised the GDP estimates for the past three years, but also released valuable and more detailed information than available earlier at the industry-level and also for the pattern of consumption expenditure, savings and capital formation. It will be useful if CSO released the back-series for the earlier years’ as per the new method, so that a longer time-series is available to the policymakers, investors and researchers.As per the new estimates, fixed investment grew by 3.0% last year compared to the earlier estimate of 0.2%. Similarly, both growth in private consumption and government consumption have been revised up significantly.
6.What are the implications of these revisions for the monetary policy?
With these significantly upward revisions in GDP, the inevitable question which arises is in terms of its implication for the policies, especially the monetary policy. RBI in its 3rd February 2015 policy review indicated that it is reviewing the new GDP numbers and will then start using it for policy reference.
India’s GDP Growth – Previous Quarters
Nominal GDP Growth of 9.5% for Fiscal 2017-18 – First Advance Estimates
India’s GDP at current prices is estimated to have grown by 9.5% for fiscal 2017-18 as per the first advance GDP report published by the CSO. In fiscal 2016-17 nominal GDP growth was 11%. Higher nominal GDP growth is required for India to service its debt and keep fiscal deficit ratios under control.For fiscal 2017-18 budgeted forecast for nominal GDP growth was 11.88% . Lower than forecast for nominal GDP growth will take up the fiscal deficit as percentage of GDP as the fiscal deficit will be higher given that the government is borrowing an additional Rs 500 billion this year to meet revenue shortfall. Fiscal deficit was pegged at 3.2% of GDP for this fiscal year.
India’s Real GDP growth has been estimated downwards to 6.5% against 7.1% in 2016-17. Growth has been expected to weaker this fiscal due to lower growth in agricultural and manufacturing sector due to implementation of GST.GDP growth is expected to be lowest in the last 4 years.

RBI Neutral Policy Stance to Continue – India second Qtr 2017-18 GDP Growth
GDP growth at 6.3% for 2nd quarter of fiscal 2017-18 against a backdrop of GST issues, and monsoons bodes well for the 3rd and 4th quarter growth rates of the economy. Nominal GDP was below budget forecasts indicating weakness in prices. Going by equity markets, record high levels of Sensex & Nifty indicate high growth in corporate revenues and earnings, which is likely to show up in GDP growth rates in the 2nd half of fiscal 2017-18.
RBI revised its GDP growth forecast from over 7% to 6.7% for this fiscal year and given that growth is rising, the central bank will not be required to lower rates to provide a monetary boost to growth.
India’s GDP growth for the second quarter of fiscal 2017-18 came in at a growth of 6.3% against 5.7% seen in the first quarter of fiscal 2017-18. The government has touched 96% of its fiscal deficit target as of October 2017.

Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE) is estimated at 12.5% against 12.6%. Gross Fixed Capital Formation ( GFCF) is estimated at 28.9 % against 29.8%.
India’s GDP growth for the 1st quarter of fiscal 2017-18 came in weak with a growth of 5.7% against 6.1% seen in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2016-17. The first quarter growth was the weakest quarterly growth seen since the base year was changed from 2004-05 to 2011-12. Growth would have been weaker if not for government front loading its spending. The government has touched 92.4% of its fiscal deficit target as of July 2017.
GST introduction in July 2017 led to manufacturing activity slowdown as producers destocked inventories in the first quarter of fiscal 2017-18. However the fall in GDP growth will raise expectations of rate cuts by the RBI, given weakness in private sector activity.
Nominal GDP grew by 9.3% against targeted levels of 11.5%. indicating the downtrend in inflation. CPI printed at 2.36% and WPI printed at 1.88% respectively in July 2017.
RBI will cut rates in its October 2017 policy review on the back of weakness in private sector activity, slower than expected nominal GDP growth and lowering borrowing costs for the government as it spends to push up growth.

Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE) is estimated at 12.6% against 9.6%. Gross Fixed Capital Formation ( GFCF) is estimated at 29.8 % against 25.5%.
Transitory Demonetization Effect – India 4th Qtr 2016-17 GDP Growth
India’s GDP growth for the 4th quarter of fiscal 2016-17 came in weak due to the effects of demonetization. Demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes in November 2016 had hit GDP growth hard as 86% of currency in circulation went out of the system.India’s GDP grew by 7.1% in the fiscal year 2016-17 against 8% in 2015-16. GDP grew by 6.1% in the 4th quarter, the weakest quarterly growth seen since the base year was changed from 2004-05 to 2011-12.
The 4th quarter GDP growth weakness is seen as transitory as optimism on economic growth in the new fiscal year 2017-18 is high. Rising export growth, high government spending, falling borrowing costs for corporates and record levels of Sensex & Nifty indicate higher confidence on the economy.
Nominal GDP grew by 11% last fiscal enabling the government to achieve its fiscal deficit target of 3.5% of GDP.

What No Demonetization Effect? – India 3rd Qtr 2016-17 GDP Growth
Demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes in November 2016 was supposed to hit GDP growth hard as 86% of currency in circulation went out of the system. However, GDP growth for 3rd quarter of fiscal 2016-17 printed at 7.1%, well above expectations of below 7% growth. A few estimates placed growth at below 6.5%.
GDP is a statistical number and can never provide the actual investment and consumer sentiment in the economy. However it does give trends of broad economic performance and 3rd quarter GDP growth for fiscal 2016-17 suggests that Demonetization did not have a dramatic effect on growth. However, the effect could spill over to the 4th quarter as both businesses and consumers re calibrate activity.
India 3rd quarter 2016-17 GDP by Economic Activity

Nominal GDP Growth of 11.5% for Fiscal 2016-17 – Second Advance Estimates
India’s GDP at current prices is estimated to have grown by 11.5% for fiscal 2016-17 as per the second advance GDP report published by the CSO. The first estimate placed growth at 11.9%. The growth of nominal GDP (GDP at current prices) at 11.5% for fiscal 2016-17 is against 8.7% growth seen in the last fiscal year. Higher nominal GDP growth is required for India to service its debt and keep fiscal deficit ratios under control.
India’s Real GDP growth has been revised downwards to 7.1% from initial forecasts of 7.6% largely due to the effects of demonetisation. Growth has come off across categories of economic activity and expenditure side GDP. Agriculture is the only exception as monsoons were better than last year.
Second Advance Estimates for India GDP for Fiscal 2016-17 by Economic Activity
GDP at constant (2011-12) prices grew at 7.1% for fiscal year 2016-17 against 7.6% for fiscal 2015-16 against growth rate of 7.2% seen in fiscal 2014-15.

Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) at constant (2011-12) prices is estimated at 55.2% for fiscal 2016-17 against 55.5% for fiscal 2015-16 and 55.6% for fiscal 2014-15. Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE) is estimated at 11.5% ( 9.9% & 10.4%). Gross Fixed Capital Formation ( GFCF) is estimated at 29.1% (31.2% & 32.3%).
India’s GDP grew by 7.2% in the first half of fiscal year 2016-17 and demonetisation is expected to lower GDP growth in the second half of the year. The reason for the fall in GDP growth is the temporary disruptions in demand and supply due to cash crunch as the cash economy has been hit by shortage of currency. RBI lowered its growth forecast from 7.6% to 7.1% for the full fiscal year.

India’s GDP growth at 7.1% for the 1st quarter of 2016-17 will give rise to optimism of higher growth in the next three quarters as both the government and RBI sticks to its full year forecast of 7.6% growth. The optimism on GDP growth is backed by the rise in the benchmark equity indices, the Sensex and Nifty, that are trading at one year highs and are just off 5% from record highs.
Corporate performance has been good in the first quarter of FY 2017, with sectors such as Auto, Cement and Infrastructure showing signs of pick up in activity. . Interest rates have come off with the ten year gsec yield closing below 7% on the 2nd of September, the lowest since 2009. Liquidity is comfortable in the system and that will spur higher credit growth in the festive season. Monsoons have been normal this year leading to optimism on rural demand.
Expected growth in GDP over the next three quarters will lead the Sensex and Nifty higher in the coming weeks and months.
