The GSDP at constant prices is estimated to be Rs 5.88 lakh crore in 2021-22. This implies that the level of the real GSDP in 2021-22 will surpass the pre-Covid level of Rs 5.66 lakh crore, recorded in 2019-20, says the Survey.
Haryanas GSDP growth rate at 9.8 per cent in the current fiscal will be higher than the countrys GDP growth rate of 9.2 per cent.
When it comes to the Gross State Value Added (GSVA) index, which is the value of goods and services produced in the economy, at constant prices, the growth in at 11.5 per cent, Services at 10.1 per cent and Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture at 2.6 per cent is estimated to fuel the overall growth of 9.2 per cent in the current fiscal.
The Survey says that the Services sector was the hardest hit during the Covid pandemic as it involves human contact. Services share in the GSVA reduced from 48.4 per cent in 2019-20 to 47.1 per cent in 2020-21. It has increased to 47.5 per cent in 2021-22, while the industrys contribution is 35.6 per cent and that of Agriculture is 16.9 per cent.
In sector-wise analysis, the Survey pointed out that since 2018-19, when 9 per cent growth rate was recorded in agriculture, there has been a slump as just 4.8 per cent was recorded in 2019-20, while 2020-21 witnessed negative growth of 2.5 per cent. In the current fiscal, it is estimated to grow at 2.6 per cent. The economic growth of the state has become more dependent on the growth in Industry and Services sectors during the past few years. However, the recent experience suggests that high GSVA growth without sustained and rapid agricultural growth is likely to accelerate Inflation in the state, jeopardising the larger growth process. Therefore, the growth of agriculture and allied sectors continues to be a critical factor in the overall performance of the states economy, says the Survey.
