GVA - industry-wise
At the aggregate level, nominal GVA at basic prices has increased by 17.9 per cent during 2021-22 against a decline of 1.0 per cent during 2020-21. Real GVA, ie, GVA at constant (2011-12) basic prices, has increased by 8.8 per cent in 2021-22, as against contraction of 4.2 per cent in 2020-21.

GVA estimates of agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors have undergone revision due to revision in production estimates of crop sector as per fourth advance estimate of the ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare. Also, for horticulture sector, third advance estimates of production have been used. The revision in other industries in primary sector is attributed to the incorporation of latest revised data.
Estimates of secondary sector have undergone upward revision due to availability of additional data in respect of companies post PE FY 2021-22 release and revision in input data by source agencies.
Estimates of tertiary sector have undergone upward revision due to availability of additional data in respect of companies post PE FY 2021-22 release and revision in input data by source agencies. Furthermore, the revision is due to the use of revised estimates (RE) from union and state government budget documents and the information on actual expenditure of various ministries/departments of the central government for 2021-22.
