The National Statistics Office (NSO), under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), released the Uniform Guideline for Compilation of District Domestic Product (DDP) Estimates with base year 2022–23.
The guideline provides a uniform framework for estimating Gross District Domestic Product (GDDP), Net District Domestic Product (NDDP), and district-level Per Capita Income.
It aims to ensure consistency, comparability, and methodological standardisation of district-level economic statistics across States and Union Territories.
The guideline primarily recommends a bottom-up approach using district-level data, with top-down methods where data gaps exist.
Currently, 26 States/UTs compile DDP estimates, and MoSPI is working to bring all States/UTs under a common framework.
