The overall expenditure of the central government in India was estimated to account for nearly 18 percent of the nation's GDP in fiscal year 2021. This was an increment by nearly five percent as opposed to the total government expenditure contribution to GDP recorded in financial year 2020. Meanwhile, forecasts for financial year 2022 indicate a lower share of GDP being accounted for by government expenditure.
