The explanation Draft prose wraps locked source numbers; no numbers are generated at request time
India's growth rate is high by global standards, but year-to-year growth is volatile and does not automatically translate into broad household gains.
This is the speedometer, not the size of the economy. A high number means India produced more than the previous year after adjusting for inflation.
This chart uses annual percentage growth of GDP at constant prices. It is a better measure of volume growth than current-dollar GDP, but it is still an economy-wide average.
A 6-7% growth year can still feel uneven. Some sectors hire, some automate, some prices rise, and many households only feel growth when stable income reaches them.
