​Testing times: On India’s GDP growth data

This article is highly relevant for UPSC and state PSC exams as it provides a comprehensive snapshot of India's economic performance, covering GDP growth, sectoral contributions, and future projections. Prelims may test specific data points like GDP growth rates and sectoral shares; mains could ask about structural issues in agriculture and manufacturing, the impact of monsoons on the economy, and policy responses to supply disruptions. UPSC, OPSC, and MPPSC candidates should note the divergence between sectoral growth and employment, and the implications of slowing growth amid global headwinds.

  • India's provisional GDP growth for 2025-26 is pegged at 7.7%, marginally higher than the government's February estimate of 7.6%.
  • Agriculture sector growth slowed to 3% in 2025-26 from 4.2% in 2024-25, despite the 2025 monsoon being 108% of its long period average (LPA).
  • The services sector's share in total GVA rose to 54.3% in 2025-26 from 51.9% in 2022-23, while agriculture's share fell below 20% from 22.1%.

What is pyroprocessing?

This article explains pyroprocessing, a high-temperature industrial process relevant to cement, metallurgy, and nuclear fuel reprocessing. For UPSC and SSC exams, it touches on science & technology (industrial processes, nuclear technology) and environment (waste management, energy efficiency). Prelims may test definitions and applications; mains could link to nuclear fuel cycle, waste reprocessing, and sustainable industrial practices.

  • Pyroprocessing is a high-temperature dry process used to change solid materials physically or chemically.
  • The three sectors that use pyroprocessing most are cement-making, metallurgy, and nuclear power.
  • In the nuclear industry, pyroprocessing reprocesses spent nuclear fuel by placing broken fuel pieces in a salt bath at 500°C or more and passing an electric current to separate elements by electrochemical properties.
