India’s Top 10 Richest and Poorest States & UTs by GSDP in FY 2025

India continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies in FY 2024–25. According to official estimates, India’s real GDP is projected to grow by 7.4%, reflecting strong domestic demand, infrastructure push, and resilient state-level performance.

At the heart of this growth are India’s states and Union Territories (UTs), whose Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) plays a crucial role in shaping the national economy.

What is GSDP?

Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) measures the total economic output of a state or Union Territory. It is similar to GDP but calculated at the state level. Higher GSDP generally indicates a larger and more diversified economy.
