The gap in manufacturing sector GVA
India's manufacturing sector's gross value added (GVA) was reported at ₹38.6 lakh crore for 2023-24 by National Accounts Statistics. An alternative estimate, derived from the Annual Survey of Industries and the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises, yields a lower figure. The discrepancy has prompted analysts to scrutinize the official data and its implications for policy.
