Chandigarh leads India in online shopping, surpassing Delhi and Mumbai
Chandigarh has quietly emerged as India's most digital-savvy shoppers' paradise, outclassing metro giants in online spending habits. Nearly 69 per cent of its households are now active e-commerce consumers, according to an analysis by The Economic Times, based on data from the Ministry of Statistics' Modular Survey. Once seen as the stronghold of digital retail, megacities like Delhi and Mumbai have been edged out. Delhi recorded 48.3 per cent of households shopping online, well behind Chandigarh. Small states lead while big ones lag Interestingly, it's not just Chandigarh rewriting the script. Union Territories like Goa (51.6 per cent) and Dadra & Nagar Haveli & Daman & Diu (50.6 per cent) have shown strong digital purchasing power. Meanwhile, large states such as Madhya Pradesh (17.9 per cent), Uttar Pradesh (18.9 per cent), and West Bengal (20.8 per cent) are trailing behind the national average of 24.5 per cent. This shift suggests a redefinition of e-commerce demographics. Smaller states and UTs are adopting online platforms more rapidly, driven by better connectivity, smartphone penetration, and a younger, tech-savvy population. Beyond food: What India buys online The data shows Indians overwhelmingly turn to e-commerce for non-food items. Nationally, 53.3 per cent of households that shop online bought non-food goods, while just 7.6 per cent purchased food items. Rural India surprisingly leads this trend — 75.7 per cent of online purchases from villages are non-food related, compared to 37.6 per cent in urban areas. In total purchases (food and non-food combined), Delhi leads with 78.2 per cent, followed by Chandigarh at 71.5 per cent and Maharashtra at 63.0 per cent. These figures sharply contrast with underperformers like Meghalaya (5.8 per cent), Ladakh (14.0 per cent) and Tripura (13.1 per cent). New digital middle class is emerging outside the metros This trend indicates a democratisation of digital retail. India's e-commerce boom is no longer driven by metro elites — it's now fuelled by Tier-2 cities and smaller states. With new hotspots like Chandigarh setting the pace, brands and policymakers must reconsider how and where they focus their attention in this rapidly evolving landscape. The message is clear: the next billion buyers aren't just in big cities — they're already shopping online from towns you weren't watching. India's digital future isn't unfolding in tech parks or metro malls — it's being written in towns and territories once overlooked.

India saw a resilient FY25, despite weak manufacturing. Keeping momentum will require reforms
The wedge between the GDP and GVA growth is explained by higher net taxes (up 12.7 percent), driven by higher collections and lower subsidies. The strong Q4 helped annual GDP growth for FY25 reach 6.5 percent, matching previous estimates. India's economy wrapped up FY 2024-25 strongly, with the fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growing 7.4 percent year-on-year—the fastest in a year and above expectations. Gross Value Added (GVA) growth for the quarter came in at 6.8 percent. A key driver behind the recent growth surge has been the government's strong focus on capital expenditure in the last quarter of FY 2024-25. Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) jumped by 9.4 percent in Q4—the fastest pace in six-quarters—highlighting sustained investments in infrastructure, such as roads, railways and urban development. The construction sector mirrored this momentum, expanding by 10.8 percent in the quarter and 9.4 percent over the year. Furthermore, the substantial increase in central government capital expenditure in the second half of FY25—up 48 percent year-on-year in December 2024 and 33 percent in March 2025—significantly contributed to the overall improvement in investment growth during the year. This investment-led growth is further corroborated by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for infrastructure and construction goods, which recorded an impressive 8 percent growth in Q4, underscoring the robust activity in construction and capital formation during the period. Resilience of rural sector Rural India continued to support growth in the absence of a broad-based revival in urban growth. The primary sector, which includes agriculture, forestry, and fishing, expanded by 5.4 percent in Q4, up sharply from just 0.9 percent a year ago. This was supported by improved rabi crop output (4.5 percent growth in food grain output for FY25) and higher Minimum Support Prices (for example, Rice: 5 percent; Wheat: 7 percent for marketing season 2024-25), which boosted rural incomes and, in turn, private consumption. Average rural wages (men) rose by 6 percent in FY25 (April–February, compared to the same period last year), exceeding the trend and reinforcing signs of a rural revival. Decent growth in services Services continued to be the backbone of India's growth, contributing 55 percent to Gross Value Added (constant prices) this year. The sector recorded 7 percent growth for the third straight quarter in Q4 FY25. Financial, real estate and professional services etc. grew by 7.8 percent in Q4, while public administration and defence expanded by 8.7 percent, while trade, hotel, transport etc recorded 6 percent. Interestingly, the firm data seems to align with the official figures. The Gross Value Added by listed non-financial services companies broadly corroborates the official growth estimates for sectors like trade, hotels, and transport etc. Also Read: Why RBI's dividend to Centre is at a record high in FY25 & a volatile history of its surplus transfers FY25 Provisional Estimates For the full financial year of 2024-2025, real GDP stood at Rs 187.9 lakh crore, reflecting a 6.5 percent growth, which is in line with the Second Advance Estimates. Sectoral growth estimates present a mixed picture, with investments and lower imports contributing positively to overall growth, and consumption remaining somewhat subdued. It is important to note that these figures are derived using the benchmark method with the help of proxy indicators, and as such, the estimates are subject to revision, when actual source data becomes available. While most sectors performed in line with expectations, the construction sector stood out, posting a growth of 9.4 percent for FY25 in the Provisional Estimates—higher than the 8.9 percent projected in the earlier Second Advance Estimates—highlighting its strong momentum within the overall economic landscape. Agriculture saw a notable turnaround in FY25, with growth rising to 4.6 percent from 2.7 percent last year. The higher agriculture output is driven by rising foodgrain output in the year. The outlook remains positive, with above-normal monsoon projected for the current year as well. Manufacturing's share in GVA remained flat at 17 percent, and the sector grew by 4.5 percent in FY25, as against 12.3 percent in FY24. Manufacturing continued to face both structural and cyclical challenges, including global supply chain disruptions, trade uncertainties and soft urban demand. This underperformance is concerning, given the sector's importance for exports and job creation. While Gross Fixed Capital Formation share of GDP (constant prices) rose to 33.7 percent—the highest since FY14—it seems to reflect the outsized role of the public sector in driving investments. National Accounts Statistics 2025 suggests that private corporations investment remained flat at Rs 20.4 lakh crore in FY24, compared to Rs 20.3 lakh crore in FY23 at constant prices. This stagnation reflects weak investment sentiment, which is likely to improve only as business confidence, capacity utilisation and global demand strengthen. Private Final Consumption Expenditure grew by 7.2 percent in FY25, up from 5.6 percent last year, but remains below pre-pandemic levels, indicating a still-fragile recovery. Rural consumption has been more resilient, thanks to higher real wages and strong farm output. Looking ahead, recent tax cuts, a likely normal monsoon and expected rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of India should help boost urban demand in FY26. However, the overall outlook for PFCE remains cautious, and will depend on continued policy support, and sustained recovery in both rural and urban consumption. Exports lent strength to the GDP numbers with a growth of 6.3 percent growth in FY25, as against 2.2 percent in FY24. Buoyant services exports and contraction in imports (-3.8 percent) led to the growth. Looking ahead, export prospects face headwinds from global trade weakness, tariff shocks and softer IT demand, which could keep net exports under pressure in FY26. India's FY25 growth reflects resilience, driven by strong public investment and a vibrant services sector, though persistent manufacturing weakness highlights the need for structural reforms. The outlook for FY26 remains positive. Rural consumption is expected to lead India's economic recovery in FY26, supported by recent income tax reliefs, a forecasted normal monsoon, and anticipated 25-50 basis points of rate cuts by RBI—all of which should boost rural demand even as urban discretionary spending remains subdued. Maintaining momentum will require labour reforms, climate-resilient agriculture and new trade agreements, alongside continued focus on infrastructure and digital investments. Despite global headwinds, India is projected to grow at 6.3–6.4 percent in FY26.

Niti Aayog asks if think-tanks should work on new data as MoSPI says alternative data can be used in official stats
Even as the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) presses ahead with the use of alternative sources of data in India's official statistics, the NITI Aayog has asked if the ministry should even be engaging with such data sets. Speaking on Thursday at the start of a two-day workshop on 'Using Alternate Data Sources and Frontier Technologies for Policy Making', NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Suman Bery questioned if these new areas should be a priority for MoSPI and cautioned that they should 'not become an all-consuming task or preoccupation', although he added that using new data sources and technologies is 'very powerful' as it helps give a sense about the direction in which the economy is headed in a fast-moving world for real-time interventions. 'I would also make the point that to some extent the issue of whether all of this should be going on in MoSPI and in the statistical infrastructure or whether it should be going on in our rich network of think tanks is, I think, an appropriate issue. For example, NCAER… has a centre for data analytics,' Bery said. New Delhi-based think-tank National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) set up a National Data Innovation Centre in 2017 to serve as a 'laboratory for experiments in data collection', among other objectives. Meanwhile, speaking at the same workshop, MoSPI Secretary Saurabh Garg said alternate data sources and frontier technology have 'reached a stage that we can actually use it for official statistics' and that this augured well for the future of data analysis. In an interview to The Indian Express, published on Thursday, Garg had said the Statistics Ministry is looking to use data from sources such as online booking platforms for air and rail fares and over-the-top (OTT) streaming services, among others, for the new Consumer Price Index (CPI) series that will be released in early 2026. 'For the new CPI series, MoSPI is expanding its approach by exploring alternative data sources, such as online platforms for airfare, rail fare, OTT platforms and administrative records for price data of petrol, diesel and LPG. Discussions are ongoing with IRCTC, under the Ministry of Railways, and the PPAC under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas for direct transfer of data for integration in CPI,' Garg said. MoSPI is in the process of revising its key macroeconomic indicators — CPI, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Apart from updating the base years to 2022-23 for GDP and IIP, and 2024 for CPI, the revision exercise will also see changes in methodology used to compute the indicators. In addition, the updated CPI series will be based on a new basket of goods and services as per the findings of MoSPI's recent Household Consumption Expenditure Survey. This could result in near-obsolete items such as audio casettes being removed from the CPI basket, with prices of more contemporary goods like treadmills being used in the measurement of retail inflation. 'Intelligent integration' Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran, also speaking at the workshop, pushed for the use of alternative data in official statistics. While surveys, administrative, and national accounts data remain indispensable as inputs in making decisions, the pace, complexity, and granularity required by modern policymaking and the challenges attached to them 'have exposed limitations in both the periodicity and dimensionality of such data,' he said. According to Nageswaran, alternative data such as satellite-based night-time luminosity — used as a proxy for economic activity in areas with delayed or weak statistical reporting — and other satellite data can help policymakers monitor industrial activity, road connectivity, and cropping patterns, among others. 'These insights can inform timely decisions on input provisioning, crop insurance payouts, and regional procurement strategies,' he said. These new types of data capture emergent behaviour, respond faster to shocks, and reflect the 'lived experience of economic agents in ways that conventional aggregates sometimes cannot,' he added. However, the government's top economist warned that while alternative data can help policymakers move from 'retrospective diagnostics to proactive intervention', they could not replace official statistics and warranted 'intelligent integration'. 'Therefore, the mature approach is not to choose between official and alternative data but to design systems where each informs and validates the other, especially in environments where timely action is crucial,' Nageswaran said, adding that enthusiasm must be tempered with prudence as official data still carried a 'certain higher sense of authenticity and reliability and accuracy given the years of usage and in-built checks and balances'. With reference to frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, Nageswaran said the 'black box nature of certain algorithms, the potential for bias embedded in training data, and risks to individual privacy must be actively mitigated through robust governance frameworks'. Further, these technologies should be deployed in a way that they are tailored to institutional absorption capacity. 'A well-designed algorithm is only as effective as the human systems interpreting and acting upon its output,' the chief economic adviser said.
