This paper examines the impact of the new GDP series on understanding the growth trajectory of India's economy, particularly focusing on the dominance and evolution of the service sector. The introduction of the new GDP series in 2015 led to significant revisions in economic data, revealing a larger contribution of the service sector to GDP growth. Through an analysis of statistical trends and sectoral contributions, this study explores how the service sector has emerged as a pivotal driver of India's economic transformation. Key findings highlight the sector's role in employment generation, technological advancements, and its implications for future economic policies.
