The Central Statistics Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has released the Quick estimates of national income, consumption expenditure, saving and capital formation for the financial year 2009-10.  The estimates of GDP and other aggregates for the previous years have been revised on account of using the new series of Wholesale price Index (WPI) with base 2004-05 and also subsequent revision in Index of industrial production (IIP). The revision in estimates is also on account of use of latest available data on agricultural production, industrial production, government expenditure and also detailed and more comprehensive data available from various source agencies.

The salient features of the estimates, which are based on latest available information, are indicated below:

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AND GROSS NATIONAL INCOME

Gross domestic product (GDP) at factor cost at constant (2004-05) prices in 2009-10 is estimated at Rs. 44,93,743 crore as against Rs. 41,62,509 crore in 2008-09 registering a growth of 8.0 per cent during the year as against the growth rate of 6.8 per cent during the previous year.

At constant (2004-05) prices the gross national income at factor cost in 2009-10 is estimated at Rs 44,64,854 crore as against Rs. 41,37,125 crore in 2008-09 showing a rise of 7.9 per cent during the year.  At current prices, the gross national income in 2009-10 is estimated at Rs. 60,95,230 crore as compared to Rs 52,49,163 crore in 2008-09, showing a rise of 16.1 per cent during the year.

PER CAPITA NATIONAL INCOME

The per capita income (per capita net national income at factor cost) in real terms, i.e. at 2004-05 prices, is estimated at Rs. 33,731 for 2009-10 as against Rs. 31,801 in 2008-09, registering an increase of 6.1 per cent during the year.

CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE, SAVING AND CAPITAL FORMATION 

In order to derive the GDP at market prices, the GDP at factor cost is adjusted by adding indirect taxes net of subsidies.  As various components of expenditure on gross domestic product, namely, consumption expenditure and capital formation, are normally measured at market prices, the discussion in the following paragraphs is in terms of market prices only.

PRIVATE FINAL CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE

Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) in the domestic market at current prices is estimated at Rs. 37,95,901 crore in 2009-10 as against Rs. 32,66,461 crore in 2008-09. At constant (2004-05) prices, the PFCE is estimated at Rs. 28,57,060 crore in 2009-10 as against Rs. 26,59,152 crore in 2008-09.  In terms of GDP at market prices, the rates of PFCE at current and constant (2004-05) prices during 2009-10 are estimated at 58.0 per cent and 58.7 per cent, respectively, as against the corresponding rates of 58.5 per cent and 59.6 per cent, respectively in 2008-09.

The per capita PFCE in the domestic market in 2009-10 is estimated to be Rs. 32,444 at current prices and Rs. 24,419 at constant (2004-05) prices as against Rs. 28,306 and Rs. 23,043 respectively in 2008-09.
