New Delhi, November 19:  Billionaire Gautam Adani to two Union Ministers and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis among others on Sunday hailed India crossing USD 4 trillion mark though there was no official confirmation if the country has achieved the landmark. The finance ministry and the National Statistical Office did not immediately comment on the viral social media post on India's GDP crossing USD 4 trillion.

Highly placed sources said that the viral news was incorrect and India was still shy of that landmark. An unverified screengrab from the live tracking GDP feed for all countries based on International Monetary Fund data has been widely shared on social media, including by many including senior BJP leaders. It is very difficult to have live tracking of GDP numbers of all countries as numbers of various sectors of the economy are available with a lag.
