Traffic, power generation and others weekly economic indicator insights

The June quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers released on Monday are expected show record contraction with some experts pointing to a number as high as 25 per cent.

Weekly economic indicators tracked by Business Standard show what may have happened since 2019. The latest numbers show more people may be stepping out as the government continues its gradual unlocking program, but the overall trend points to a stuttering recovery.

Although numbers are better than June, traffic growth is now stagnating in major cities and electricity generation is slipping even as pollution in the capital showed signs of falling again.
