Significant disparities in per capita income growth across Indian states

The CNBC TV 18 report highlights significant disparities in per capita income growth across Indian states from 2014-15 to 2024-25. India’s overall per capita net income at constant prices grew by 57.5%, from ₹72,805 to ₹1,14,710. However, growth rates varied widely:
  • Slowest Growth: Uttarakhand (33.5%), Punjab (41.3%), Rajasthan (49.8%), and Chhattisgarh (52.4%) recorded the lowest per capita income growth. West Bengal (51.8%) and Maharashtra (53.6%) also saw modest increases.
  • Highest Growth: Southern and eastern states like Odisha (96.7%), Karnataka (93.6%), Telangana (85.3%), and Tamil Nadu (83.3%) nearly doubled their per capita incomes.
  • Data Gaps: States like Uttar Pradesh (47.9% growth as of FY24), Bihar, Goa, Delhi, and Jharkhand did not report FY25 figures.
This uneven growth underscores regional economic disparities in India over the decade.
