First Advance Estimates of National Income, 2016-17
The Central Statistics Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation have released the First Advance estimates of national income at constant (2011-12) and current prices, for the financial year 2016-17. These are presented in Statements 1-4. The First Advance Estimates of
GDP have been released in accordance with the release calendar of National Accounts@. The approach for compiling the advance estimates is based on benchmark-indicator method. The Sector-wise estimates are obtained by extrapolation of indicators like (i) Index of Industrial Production of first 7 months of the financial year, (ii) financial performance of listed companies in the private corporate sector available upto quarter ending September, 2016 (ii) 1st advance estimates of crop production, (iii) accounts of Central & State Governments, information on indicators like sales tax, deposits & credits, passenger and freight earnings of railways, passengers and cargo handled by civil aviation, cargo handled at major sea ports, sales of commercial vehicles etc. available for first 7/8 months of the financial year. The salient features of the estimates are detailed below:
A. ESTIMATES AT CONSTANT (2011-12) PRICES
Gross Domestic Product
3. Real GDP or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant (2011-12) prices in the year 2016-17 is likely to attain a level of `121.55 lakh crore, as against the Provisional Estimate of GDP for the year 2015-16 of `113.50 lakh crore, released on 31st May 2016. The growth in GDP during 2016-17 is estimated at 7.1 per cent as compared to the growth rate of 7.6 per cent in 2015-16.
Gross Value Added (GVA) at Basic Prices
4. Real GVA, i.e, GVA at basic constant prices (2011-12) is anticipated to increase from `104.27 lakh crore in 2015-16 to `111.53 lakh crore in 2016-17. Anticipated growth of real GVA at basic prices in 2016-17 is 7.0 percent against 7.2 percent in 2015-16.

The growth in the ‘agriculture, forestry and fishing’, ‘mining and quarrying’, ‘electricity, gas, water supply and other utility services’, ‘construction’ and ‘Trade, hotels, transport, communication and services related to broadcasting’ is estimated to be 4.1 per cent, (-)1.8 per cent, 6.5 percent, 2.9 per cent and 6.0 percent respectively.
Agriculture
6. The ‘agriculture, forestry and fishing’ sector is likely to show a growth of 4.1 per cent in its GVA during 2016-17, as against the previous year’s growth rate of 1.2 per cent. The GVA estimates of this sector have been compiled using the First Advance Estimates of production of major Kharif crops for 2016-17 and targets based on rabi sowings. According to the information furnished by the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC), the production growth of food grains during the Kharif season of agriculture year 2016-17 was 8.9 percent as compared to decline of 3.2 percent during the same period in 2015-16. In case of livestock sector, estimates of production, mainly in the form of targets are available for milk, egg, and wool, from the Department of Animal Husbandry, Ministry of Agriculture. Around 39.0 percent of GVA of this sector is based on livestock products, forestry and fisheries, which registered a combined growth of above 3.7 percent in 2016-17.

The growth rates observed in these items have been used to extrapolate the Provisional Estimates of value of output of coal, crude petroleum, and other major and minor minerals, respectively. IIP of mining registered growth rate of (-)0.2 percent during April-October, 2016-17 as compared to 2.2 percent during April-October, 2015-16. Advance Estimate of IIP for 2016-17 of this sector, compiled by dividing the cumulative index for the first 7 months of the current financial year, by the average of ratio of 7 months index to the annual index of past years has been used. The private corporate sector growth in the mining sector was estimated using latest available information on major listed companies during first half of 2016-17.

The Advance Estimates of IIP at 2-digit industry groups for the current year are initially compiled by dividing the cumulative index for the 7 months of the current year, by the average of ratio of 7 months index to the annual index of past years. The estimated IIP so derived for the current year at 2-digit level is used to extrapolate the previous year’s value added estimates at 2-digit level, separately for the quasi corporate and household sectors.
