This document describes the procedures, methodologies and approaches used in constructing
the India KLEMS database version 2015. This database is part of a research project,
supported by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), to analyse productivity performance in the
Indian economy at disaggregated industry level. This work is meant to support empirical
research in the area of economic growth. In addition, the database is meant to support the
conduct of policies aimed at supporting the acceleration of productivity growth in the Indian
economy, requiring comprehensive measurement tools to monitor and evaluate progress.
Finally, the construction of the database would also support the systematic production of
reliable statistics on growth and productivity using the methodologies of national accounts
and input-output analysis.
