The union ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI) on Friday (November 27) will announce the the gross domestic product (GDP) numbers for the second quarter (July-September 2020) of current financial year (FY 2020-21).

CNBC-TV18's Latha Venkatesh gets the key highlights from the poll.
