Question

In what two ways is the GDP measured in India?

Answer 1

In India GDP is measured both annually and quarterly. The annual GDP is for a financial year which is from April 1 of one year, for example, 2017 to March 31 of the next year, for example, 2018.
This is written as 2017-18.
The quarterly GDP estimates are for each of the four quarters into which India’s financial year is divided.
First-quarter, denoted Q1: April, May, and June.
Second Quarter – Q2: July, August, and September
Third Quarter – Q3: October, November, and December
Fourth Quarter – Q4: January, February, and March
