Controversy Surrounds India's 7.8% June Quarter GDP Growth Data

India's reported 7.8% GDP growth for the June quarter has triggered a heated debate among economists and political leaders regarding calculation methodology.

World Bank Executive Director Neelkanth Mishra defended the figures, dismissing criticism as 'egregiously wrong' while opposition parties demanded transparency.

The government's revision of the ₹43 lakh-crore GDP data has led to calls for a detailed explanation of the statistical models used by the Ministry of Statistics.
