and Structure of Indian Economy Deepak Mohanty V S Raghavan The CSO has now made available a long period (1950-51 to 1987-88) comparable series of major macro-economic aggregates at constant prices. This paper used this data to analyse the growth and structural characteristics of the Indian economy since the First Plan. The components of GDP at constant prizes are compared between the old and new series of national accounts statistics for the 1980s. Finally, certain methodological issues in the estimation of savings and capital formation are discussed.
