Output: Services in the national accounts, trade, jobs and enterprises

More than half the economy, mostly unseen.

The haircut, the bus ride, the bank account, the school fee, the rent and the software sold to a bank in Ohio are all services. Together they produce more than half of what India makes in a year, and most of the growth. This guide shows how big each kind is, what India sells abroad, and who does the work.

What the figures say

Services made up 54.0% of the economy's gross value added in FY26, on the 2022-23 base, up 1.1 points from 52.9% in FY25 and higher for a third year running.

The largest of the three service groups is finance, real estate and professional services, at 26.6%, up 0.6 points; the base does some of that work, since the group's FY25 reading of 26.0% was itself above where it had been sitting. Trade, hotels, transport and communication came next at 14.3%, and public administration, defence and other services at 13.2%, up 0.2 points.

The goods side moved the other way: agriculture fell 1.1 points to 18.2%, the largest fall on the year, and farms, mines, factories, utilities and construction together fell 1.1 points to 46.0%. Sub-industry growth stops at FY25, the latest year with that detail, and storage grew fastest in real terms, at 28.3%; railways slowest, at 2.5%; hotels and restaurants slowed most, to 3.9%, down 11.0 points.

In May 2026 services exports were $33.4 billion and imports $17.6 billion, a surplus of $15.7 billion. The trial Index of Services Production, for July 2026, runs from administrative and support services at 20.8% to air transport at -8.5%; it is a trial, and covers the formal part of services only, so whether the small informal firm is growing as fast it cannot say.

What they do not say

Services were 54.0% of the economy's value added in FY26, up from 52.9% a year earlier. That is a share of output, not a share of work: services hold a smaller slice of employment than of value added, and nothing in this guide says what those jobs pay. Even inside services the readings are uneven: the trial Index of Services Production, which has no overall figure and covers only the formal part, shows administrative and support services up 20.8% and air transport down 8.5%, while the annual growth rates run from storage at 28.3% to railways at 2.5%.

The annual figures are provisional and will be revised; the informal service economy is estimated rather than measured each year. How fast those businesses grow from year to year, we do not know: the survey that would tell us lags the year it describes. Services exports were $33.4 billion in May 2026, and the monthly trade figures arrive sooner than the annual ones, but they count receipts from abroad, not the takings of the shop on the corner.

What counts as a service

Share of GVA by service industry, –

A service is anything sold that is not a thing: work done for you, rather than goods handed over. Follow one ordinary day. The milk and vegetables come through a shop, which is trade. The auto, the bus and the train are transport, and the phone recharge on the way is communication. The salary lands in a bank, the EMI goes out of it and the insurance premium is deducted: finance. The rent is real estate. The child's school, the clinic visit, the tailor, the barber and the cook who comes in the morning are other services. The police station, the municipal office and the army are public administration. Behind the shop counter there are also warehouses, couriers and accountants, all services.

The national accounts sort these into three groups: trade, hotels, transport and communication; finance, real estate and professional services; and public administration, defence and other services. Software and the back offices of foreign banks sit in the second group, under professional services; they also lead the export figures further down.

The biggest service is not software but rent, property and professional work

How to read this

Each bar is the share of the whole economy's value added, so the bars add up to the services total, a little over half. "Real estate, dwellings and professional" is large mainly because the national accounts count the rent that owner-occupiers would pay themselves, as well as rent paid, property dealing, law, accounting and software. It is not a measure of construction, which the accounts treat as industry.

In rupees, one per cent of GVA in a recent year is roughly ₹3 lakh crore of value added.

How big, and which part is growing

The two lines measure the same idea with different rulers. The 2022-23 base uses newer data sources and weights, so its level sits lower than the old series for the same years. Compare the slope within each line, never the gap between them.

A rising share can come from services growing faster in volume or from their prices rising faster than those of goods. The 2020-21 dip is the lockdown, when hotels, transport and shops shut while farms kept working.

As of 2025-26

On the old base the share went from – in – to – in –, the last year it was estimated. On the new base it went from – in 2022-23 to – in –. The latest years on both bases are early estimates and will be revised.

How to read this

Real growth strips out price changes: it is the change in the volume of service delivered, valued at 2022-23 prices. Small industries swing more. Storage and air transport are each well under one per cent of the economy, so a fast year there moves the total far less than a slow year in trade.

A monthly pulse, still on trial

Index of Services Production, base 2024-25 = 100

Factories have had a monthly index since the 1950s. Services, the bigger half, had none until July 2026, when MoSPI began publishing a trial Index of Services Production for 19 sub-sectors. It is built mostly from GST returns, deflated by the matching consumer or wholesale price index, with railway, airline, shipping, banking and insurance figures from their regulators. It covers only formal firms, about three-fifths of services, and there is no overall index yet: MoSPI says it will publish one after it has tested how stable the sub-sector indices are. Every figure in this section is a trial and may be recast.

Ten of the nineteen service sub-sectors are growing in double digits; repair services and air transport are shrinking

How to read this

The index started in April 2025, so year-on-year growth exists only from April 2026. Growth of 20 or 30 per cent in shops and hotels is large for a real index. Part of it may be more businesses filing GST returns rather than more business being done, which is one reason the series is a trial. Read the ranking and the direction, and wait for a longer record before trusting the size.

As of July 2026

In –, – of the nineteen sub-sectors grew 10% or more. The fastest was – and the slowest –; – shrank. Air transport has been below the year-ago level in every month of the record.

Because the base year is set to 100, the annual index minus 100 is the year's growth. The national accounts measure the same industries differently, from more sources and with informal firms included, so the two will not agree. When they differ, the national accounts are the broader measure.

As of 2025-26

In –, the fastest sub-sector was – and the slowest –.

Selling services to the world

RBI balance of payments, US$

India buys more goods from the world than it sells, every year. Services pay for much of the gap. The big earners are software and IT services, and a growing set of "other business services": engineering, research, consulting, accounting and back-office work. Much of the newer work is done in global capability centres, the Indian offices that multinationals own and staff themselves, from Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Gurugram. A GCC's bill to its parent company abroad is a services export, recorded under computer services, R&D or professional services. No official series counts GCCs as such; their work is inside these categories.

Seventy-five years of services trade, and the software boom inside it

How to read this

On a logarithmic scale equal distances are equal multiples, so a straight line is steady percentage growth. Services exports barely moved until about 1970, climbed through the 1970s and 1980s, rose steeply after the 1991 reforms and the arrival of offshore IT work, and have grown about ten times since 2004-05. This table uses the RBI's older categories; the plates below use the newer international standard (BPM6), which classifies some items differently, so the two are never added together.

How to read this

The monthly figures come from banks' reports of foreign-exchange receipts and payments, released about six weeks after the month. They are revised once the quarter's full balance of payments is compiled, so the three months of a quarter may not add up to the later quarterly total. March is usually the year's peak, as firms settle annual contracts. The break in early 2020 is February 2020, a month the RBI's table does not carry.

The RBI's DBIE table lags its press releases by a few months; the Atlas reads DBIE, so the latest months here can trail the newspapers.

India is a net seller of computer and business services and a net buyer of transport (freight carried by foreign ships and airlines), of the right to use foreign patents, brands and software licences, and, in most years, of travel: Indians spend more abroad than foreign visitors spend in India. The RBI publishes this table's finer sub-items (computer services alone, R&D alone) only up to 2020-21 and for one later quarter; the purpose-code table in the next plate carries that detail to more recent quarters.

How to read this

When money arrives from abroad, the bank asks what it is for and files it under a purpose code. These lines add up those codes. "Professional and management consulting" includes legal, accounting, advertising, architecture, engineering and management consultancy; much of it is billed by Indian subsidiaries of foreign firms to their parents. The codes describe the payment, not the firm, so they cannot say how much comes from capability centres and how much from independent firms. We do not know that split. The RBI's table files the whole of 2012-13 under January to March 2013; that quarter is left out of these lines.

As of Apr to Jun 2025

In –, consulting receipts were –, against – five years earlier (–). Research and development earned – and software services, the largest single code, –.

Who does the work

PLFS, share of workers, aged 15 and over

Services produce more than half of output but employ about a third of workers, because the work is split between a few high-earning jobs (a software engineer, a bank officer) and very many low-earning ones (a shop helper, a delivery rider, a domestic worker). Farming still employs more people than all services together. The Periodic Labour Force Survey counts workers by the industry they work in; the plates below use its published tables.

Shops employ the most service workers; women are over-represented in teaching, health and domestic work

How to read this

Each value is the share of all workers who work mainly in that industry. Usual status counts a person's main activity over the past year, plus any regular side work. A woman counted under "households as employers" is a domestic worker: a cook, a cleaner, a nanny employed by a family.

The figure at the top of the page uses current weekly status, which counts what people did in the survey week and picks up a little more service work, so it is slightly higher than the usual-status total here.

As of 2025

In –, service industries employed – of workers, against – in farming. Trade alone employed –; information and communication, the home of IT, –. Education employed – of working women and – of working men; domestic work, – of women.

How to read this

Current weekly status counts what a person did in the week before the survey, which catches seasonal work better than the yearly measure. MoSPI redesigned the survey from January 2025: a new sample whose households are visited four months running. These figures are from the new design. The calendar years 2023 and 2024 and the older yearly reports (July to June) come from the original design; they are a different ruler, kept separate in the data downloads, and are not drawn here beside the new one, because a difference between them would mix the change in work with the change in the survey.

As of 2025

In –, services employed – of working women in towns and cities but – in villages; for men the figures were – and –.

How to read this

Own-account workers run their own business without hired help: the kirana owner, the auto driver who owns his auto. Unpaid helpers are family members working in it. A regular wage or salary does not by itself mean a written contract or social security; PLFS finds that many regular employees have neither. "Other services" here covers information, finance, real estate, professional work, government, education and health.

As of 2023-24

In –, – of all service workers had a regular wage or salary. In trade, – were self-employed; in the other services, – were salaried. Casual labour was – of the workforce in hotels and food service.

07

The informal service economy

ASUSE, unincorporated non-farm enterprises

Most service businesses in India are not companies. They are proprietors and partnerships: the paan shop, the tuition centre in a front room, the tailor, the tea stall, the small transport operator. MoSPI's Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) counts them. It covers businesses that are not registered as companies, outside farming; the factories guide shows its manufacturing side.

Retail shops employ more informal service workers than anything else

Gross value added per worker is what the business's sales are worth after paying for its materials and other inputs, divided among everyone who works in it, before paying wages, rent or interest. It is an upper bound on what the owner and workers can take home, not their income.

Urban financial services sit far to the right: informal moneylenders, chit funds and agents earn margins on money rather than on materials, and few people work in them, so value per worker is high. The axis keeps them in view rather than cut them off.

As of 2023-24

In –, an informal worker in other services produced – a year, about – a month; in trade, –. Across all informal activities the figure was – in towns and – in villages.

Each bar adds to 100 per cent of that activity's establishments. A business run from home has no rent to pay, which is why tutors, tailors and beauticians so often work from a room in the house.

08

What this measures

Four instruments, each answering a different question. Keep them apart.

The national accounts measure value added: what each industry's output is worth after the inputs it uses up. They include the informal economy, estimated from surveys and indicators, and government services, valued at what they cost. They are the broadest measure and the slowest: annual detail arrives a year or more late and is revised for about three years. India rebased its national accounts to 2022-23 in 2026; the 2011-12 series continues alongside for history. The two rulers are never joined here.

The Index of Services Production measures the monthly volume of formal service activity in 19 sub-sectors, mainly from GST returns. It is quick but partial, and it is a trial.

The balance of payments measures services sold to and bought from the rest of the world, from banks' reports of foreign-exchange transactions and company surveys. It is in US dollars and counts transactions, not value added.

The labour force survey and ASUSE count people and businesses. PLFS asks households what work each member does; ASUSE visits informal businesses and asks what they sell, spend and pay.

Each answers its own question. Services can be more than half of value added, about a third of jobs and close to half of exports at the same time, and none of those numbers is wrong.

09

How to misread these numbers

  • 1

    "India is a software economy."

    Software is India's largest services export, but a small part of what services produce at home. Most service output is trade, rent and property, finance, transport, government and the work of small shops, schools and clinics.

  • 2

    "Services employ most Indians."

    Services produce more than half of output but employ about a third of workers. Farming still employs more people. Most service jobs are self-employment in small shops and stalls, not salaried office work.

  • 3

    "Shops grew 30%, so consumers are spending 30% more."

    The trial services index is young, built from GST filings and limited to formal firms. Some of its growth can be businesses moving into the tax net rather than more sales. Read its direction, and wait before trusting its size.

  • 4

    "Services' share fell when the new GDP series came out."

    The two series are different bases of the national accounts. The 2022-23 base measures the economy with new sources and sits at a different level. Compare change within a base, never across the seam.

  • 5

    "Real estate is a quarter of services, so property must be booming."

    Most of it is imputed rent: the national accounts count the rent owners would pay to live in their own homes, which rises steadily with the housing stock. It is a real part of living standards, but it is not sales of property.

  • 6

    "Services exports are profit for India."

    Exports are receipts, not earnings. A software firm's export revenue pays its salaries, rent and taxes in India. That spending is why services exports matter for jobs, and why receipts are larger than the value added behind them.

India Atlas, “Services”, data vintage 2026-10-09. atlas.thisindianlife.today/guides/services/

Sources, method and revisions

Sources of record

Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, National Statistics Office: National Accounts Statistics (GVA by industry and sub-industry, 2011-12 and 2022-23 bases), the trial Index of Services Production (base 2024-25), the Periodic Labour Force Survey and the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises, all through the eSankhyiki API. Reserve Bank of India: monthly trade in services, the balance of payments by category and purpose code, and the long annual invisibles table, from its Database on Indian Economy through the Atlas's local, read-only mirror. Data vintage –; trade vintage –.

Checked by hand against the agencies' own releases: MoSPI's first ISP release (14 July 2026: retail trade 130.5 for 2025-26, 137.50 for April 2026) and its 29 July release (retail trade up 13.3% in May 2026); the RBI's balance-of-payments press release of 27 June 2025 (net services US$ 53.3 billion in January to March 2025, US$ 42.7 billion a year earlier); and its 30 June 2026 release on monthly services trade (May 2026 receipts US$ 33,355 million, payments US$ 17,637 million).

Method

Shares of GVA are computed from published current-price levels; real growth from constant-price levels, never taken from rounded published rates. The services total is the sum of the published service groups. ISP growth is computed from the index and checked against MoSPI's rates. RBI values are stored once each (DBIE repeats every value once per display unit), and for each period the most mature version is used. PLFS and ASUSE values are published shares, counts and rupee figures, shown as published.

Revisions and breaks

Never joined: the 2011-12 and 2022-23 national accounts bases; the RBI's older invisibles categories and BPM6; PLFS agriculture-year reports, the original design's calendar-year estimates (2023, 2024) and the revamped design's (2025 on: MoSPI redesigned the survey from January 2025); ASUSE financial-year rounds and the 2025 calendar-year round. On the 2011-12 base, MoSPI serves the three combined service groups only as advance and provisional estimates while their parts carry later revisions; the services total uses the parts where they exist. The RBI's 1985-86 services row does not add up as published (a five-million-dollar gap) and is kept as published.

This guide

Version 1.0, built October 2026. Revised with each national accounts, ISP, RBI and survey release. The RBI's DBIE copy of the monthly services data lags its press releases; the Atlas follows DBIE.
