Slowdown blues: UP clocks muted 4.1% GSDP growth in Q2 of 2019-20

The state trails India's GDP growth of 4.5% in July-Sep quarter

The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth of Uttar Pradesh in the second quarter (Q2) of the current financial year 2019-20 stood at 4.1 per cent compared to the corresponding period last year.

Even as UP is targetting to become a $1 trillion economy by 2024, the GSDP growth of 4.1 per cent against constant (2011-12) prices is even lower than India's corresponding GDP growth during the July-September quarter at 4.5 per cent, thus reflecting greater impact of the economic slowdown in its economy.

Such estimates at current and constant prices respectively are derived as per the methodology supplied by Central Statistical
