(b) the national investment rate during the said period?

Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)

(a) and (b): The new series of National Income, Consumption Expenditure, Saving and Capital Formation, released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), uses the corporate data of close to 5.5 lakhs companies from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The data in the desired form is available only from 2010-11 and not for earlier years. For want of a robust proxy of the corporate sector, the new series could not be back casted for comparable estimates of old and new series. As per the data released by CSO, the available GDP and the investment rate data for the 2004-05 series and 2011-12 series is given in the table below.
