The reasons are clear in Table 1. Gross value added (the earlier measure of gross domestic product) has risen 6.6 per cent in 2013-14 instead of being under 5 per cent, as earlier thought.
And GDP itself grew at nearly 7 per cent.
More interestingly, gross fixed capital formation also grew - in the midst of an investment freeze - and the imports of goods crashed, not normally associated with a growth period.
Table 2 examines the gross capital formation a little more closely. While it did indeed fall as a percentage of output over the past three complete financial years, in some sectors it showed an increase.
What about the growth of specific sectors? Table 3 shows that manufacturing apparently grew at over 5 per cent in both previous years.
Further, that growth was steady across components like textiles, metal products and machinery in 2013-14. Services, including trade and communications, showed growth in the same year.
Table 4 shows how the economy is divided into various activities. It turns out that manufacturing is almost 18 per cent of output, much higher than originally thought.
