SBI Research, through Group Chief Economic Adviser Soumya Kanti Ghosh, contests doubts raised about India’s GDP growth data, saying the controversy stems from how the figures are interpreted. Ghosh tells NDTV that an “unnecessary controversy” is created by what he describes as incorrect data interpretation.
The report frames the disagreement as a debate over analysis rather than a claim that the underlying data is fraudulent. It also emphasizes that disputes in economic reporting can arise when different parties read statistical releases in different ways. In this coverage, the primary angle is SBI’s stance that the concerns circulating about GDP growth are not supported if the data is interpreted correctly. Other details such as the specific nature of the disputed figures or competing interpretations are not provided in the included excerpts.
Overall, the outlet presents SBI Research’s response as a corrective to the doubts, focusing on interpretation and methodological correctness rather than broader political or institutional implications.
