      Question

      After the rebasing of India’s GDP series from 2004-05 to 2011-12 base year, which of the following changes was observed?

      A Share of agriculture increased substantially; investment share rose while consumption share fell Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Headline GDP growth rates were revised downward across most years; manufacturing share fell Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Share of private final consumption expenditure in GDP increased; gross capital formation share declined; services sector’s share expanded under the new methodology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Share of agriculture and manufacturing both increased; investment growth exceeded consumption growth Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Key changes under 2011-12 rebasing: • Private consumption share ROSE; investment (GFCF) share FELL — reversed the earlier ā€œIndia is investment-ledā€ narrative. • GDP growth for some years (notably 2013-14) was revised upward sharply, triggering methodological controversy. • Services sector share expanded under GVA at basic prices methodology. • Agriculture’s share did NOT increase substantially. Option (D) directly contradicts the observed consumption-investment shift.
