The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) clarified the revised GDP estimates for Q1 of 2026-27. A negative 1.5% manufacturing GVA deflator does not mean factory prices fell; under double deflation, input prices rose faster than output prices. Manufacturing nominal GVA grew 7.7% and real GVA 9.2%. Q1 2025-26 current-price GDP was revised from ₹86.05 lakh crore to ₹80.00 lakh crore because of the new 2022-23 base year and better data. Mining and quarrying real GVA fell 2.4% while nominal GVA rose 22.3% on higher mineral prices.
