Odisha surprised us. At 81 and 84 my husband and I travelled through Konark, Chilika, Puri and Dhauli with our son and grandson. We found dolphins, temples that function like sundials, an unforgettable darshan at Jagannath — and beaches cleaner than many European coastlines I visited years ago. Yet this remarkable state remains under-celebrated. Some memories from the journey. #Odisha #IncredibleIndia #TravelIndia drive.google.com/file/d/15Lihkc…

In the GDP series (base 2022–23), real GDP is estimated using sector-specific deflators.

India currently does not have a Producer Price Index (PPI) for deflating GDP estimates; however, the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) uses ex-factory prices that exclude transport charges and taxes, making it conceptually similar to PPI, with the main difference being that PPI typically includes export prices.

Nominal GDP is the measure of final good and services produced in a reference period at current prices, therefore its growth carries the effect of price changes over time. On the other hand, to ascertain the growth due to volume of final goods and services, which is the actual measurement of economic growth, price effect needs to be eliminated. That is why, real GDP is measured at base year prices, keeping it constant over time. @PMOIndia @_saurabhgarg @PIB_India @PibMospi @Rao_InderjitS @mygovindia @NITIAayog
