How is India’s GDP calculated?

      • Private consumption Spending (Private Final Consumption Expenditure or PFCE)
      • Government Expenditure (Government Final Consumption Expenditure or GFCE)
      • Private investments to boost the productive capacity of the economy (Gross Fixed Capital Expenditure)
      • Net exports of the country (Net Exports or NX)
    • GDP = private consumption + gross private investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports).
      • Private Consumption: It refers to spending by consumers. A high confidence level in the economy indicates that consumers are willing to spend, while a low confidence level reflects an unwillingness to spend.

  • The Income Method for Calculating India’s GDP: It is an intermediate method that calculates the income earned by all the factors of production in an economy, including the wages paid to labor, the rent earned by land, the return on capital in the form of interest, and corporate profits
