MoSPI says it has decided to revise the release time for the press releases of GDP estimates from 5.30 pm to 4.00 pm, to provide the users/media/public more time on the day of release to access GDP data.
The next press release of GDP estimates for the second quarter (July–September) of financial year 2024-25 will thus be available on November 29, 2024, at 4 pm.
The government on Friday said it has advanced the release of gross domestic product (GDP) data by about 90 mins to 4pm. Currently, the GDP is released at 5.30 pm on the specified release dates.
The government has decided to revise the release time for the press releases of GDP estimates from 5.30 pm to 4.00 pm to provide the users/media/public more time on the day of release to access GDP data, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) in a statement.
The new release time aligns with the closing hours of major financial markets in India, ensuring that GDP data dissemination does not interfere with active trading, the ministry stated.
This adjustment also adheres to MoSPI’s commitment to transparency and accessibility in data dissemination.
