The government has decided to update the base year for the compilation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 2011-12 to 2022-23.
The 26-member Advisory Committee was constituted under the Chairmanship of Biswanath Goldar and is expected to complete the exercise by early 2026.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data based on the 2011-12 series was also released in January 2015.
The first official estimates of the national income were prepared by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) with the base year 1948-49 for the estimates at constant prices.
These estimates at the constant (1948-49) prices along with the corresponding estimates at the current prices and the accounts of the Public Authorities were published in the publication, 'Estimates of National Income' in 1956.
