I       REVISED ANNUAL ESTIMATES OF NATIONAL INCOME, 2011-12

3.     The advance estimates of national income for the year 2011-12 were released on 7th February, 2012. These estimates have now been revised incorporating latest estimates of agricultural production, index of industrial production and performance of key sectors like, railways, transport other than railways, communication, banking and insurance and government expenditure.

4.     The salient features of these estimates are detailed below:

(a) Estimates at constant (2004-05) prices
Gross Domestic Product
