• Delhi 'way ahead' of Gujarat; BJP misleading people: Dikshit (Rediff)

Evidence

Analysis

Sheila Dikshit said Delhi's average growth over the previous five years was 10.33%, against Gujarat's 9.51% and a national average of 8.03%. She repeated the 10.33% figure at the Delhi Congress manifesto release in November 2013.

The Delhi Economic Survey's 2012-13 estimates report 10.33% as the compound annual growth rate of Delhi's real NSDP from 2004-05 to 2012-13, an eight-year period. The same survey reports 9.2% growth in 2011-12 and 9.0% in 2012-13.

National GDP growth for 2008-09 to 2012-13 was 6.7%, 8.6%, 9.3%, 6.2% and 5.0%, an arithmetic average of about 7.2%, below the 8.03% cited. Delhi's growth was faster than the national rate, but the specific five-year averages and comparison period are not supported as stated.

Notes

The 10.33% figure appears in the Delhi Economic Survey as an eight-year CAGR. The national five-year average is computed from Economic Survey 2012-13 growth rates. Gujarat's 9.51% was not independently verified. [ingest: 1 dead evidence link(s) removed]
