• State's GDP growth at par with nation (The Assam Tribune)

Evidence

Analysis

Tarun Gogoi said Assam's growth rate had reached 8.1% and was almost at par with the all-India average, citing Planning Commission figures released the previous day. India's GDP growth for 2010-11 was then estimated at 8.5%.

Assam's Economic Survey 2011-12 later put the state's 2010-11 growth at 7.34% on quick estimates, while the advance estimate for 2011-12 was 8.42%. The 8.1% figure was therefore a provisional Planning Commission estimate that was subsequently revised down.

At the time of the statement, the 8.1% figure was the official Planning Commission number, and the gap with the 8.5% national estimate was 0.4 percentage points.

Notes

The Assam Tribune page metadata shows 2010-09-15 but the text refers to June 15 and the 2011-12 Plan, so the statement date is taken as 2011-06-15. Assam's later quick estimate for 2010-11 was 7.34%.
