Household consumption

Value in 2023-24

₹164.16 lakh crore

56.5% of GDP

Gross flows can exceed GDP. GDP counts only final output once; the map also shows the inputs firms buy from each other and the money that passes through financial markets.

What it is

What households, and the non-profits that serve them, spend on goods and services (private final consumption expenditure), including the rent owner-occupiers are deemed to pay themselves and the financial and insurance services they buy. The split across household groups is estimated from the household consumption survey, which captures well under half of national consumption; the method assumes the missing part is spread like the captured part.
