1.     Gross Domestic Production (GDP)
2.     Gross Value Addition (GVA)
3.     Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
4.     Gross National Product (GNP)
5.     Index of Industrial Production (IIP)
6.     Wholesale Price Index (WPI)
7.     Producer Price Index (PPI)
8.     Consumer Price Index (CPI)

1.Gross Domestic Production (GDP): GDP is a monetary measure of the market value of all the final goods & services produced in a economic year in a country.
                    GDP = Consumption + Government Expenditure + Investment + (Export – Import)
