    Solution

    GVA denotes the value of output minus intermediate consumption in each sector—agriculture, industry, and services. Summed across sectors and adjusted for taxes/subsidies, it yields GDP. It’s used to gauge structural transformation and productivity across sectors, which helps RBI and policymakers identify sources of growth.
