The 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) set several quantitative targets. The targeted annual Real GDP Growth Rate was 8% (a revision from the initial 8.2%). The target for Manufacturing Sector Growth Rate was 10%. The plan also aimed to increase green cover by 1 million hectare every year. However, the target set for the Agriculture Growth Rate during the 12th Plan period was 4% per annum, not 5%.

Specific sectoral growth targets were part of the overall planning framework to achieve the desired GDP growth and inclusive development goals.

The 12th Plan included numerous other measurable targets across various sectors, including poverty reduction, employment creation, health indicators (IMR, MMR), infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability.
