"The nominal GDP growth assumption for FY25 may be revised upwards on higher growth expectations. It is likely to be 10.5-11 per cent," a senior government official said.
Nominal GDP, calculated at current market prices, factors in the effect of inflation and is used as the base to calculate crucial macroeconomic indicators, such as tax buoyancy, fiscal deficit, revenue deficit, and debt-to-GDP ratio. A higher nominal GDP assumption makes it easier for the finance minister to show a narrower fiscal deficit print and vice versa. A Business Standard analysis shows in the past 10 years, the Budget had overestimated nominal GDP growth seven times and underestimated it thrice.
In FY20, the final Budget revised the nominal GDP growth target to 12 per cent from 11.5 per cent assumed in the interim Budget.
However, for FY15, despite a change in government, the finance ministry kept the nominal GDP growth rate unchanged at 13.4 per cent.

More upside in Zomato's stock, but competition also rising
The filing of Swiggy's DRHP has led to direct comparisons with Zomato, which is a direct competitor in food delivery and the fast-growing quick-commerce segment where Blinkit (owned by Zomato) faces off against Instamart (and Zepto). In Q-commerce, Flipkart, Amazon, Reliance and Big Basket are all entering the space. All of them have deep pockets, hence competitive intensity will rise going forward.

‘Anxiety as a symptom of anxiety’
Today, as we become our own diagnosticians, a quick Google search is handy but not always warranted. Inevitably, one question leads to an obsessive two hour-long spiral down the rabbit hole that is the internet, whether or not the issue deserves such immediacy. This behaviour is not new, as Caroline Crampton points out in her second book, A Body Made of Glass, although it has been on the rise.
