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.

Top 10 Richest States/UTs by GSDP (FY 2025, Current Prices)

Rank State / UT GSDP (₹ Lakh Crore) Key Economic Drivers
1 Maharashtra 45.32 Finance, Manufacturing, Services
2 Tamil Nadu 31.19 Automobiles, Manufacturing, IT

States & UTs with the Smallest GSDP (FY 2025)

While these states and UTs are economically smaller in total size, it is important to note that many have small populations.

Rank (Lowest) State / UT GSDP (₹ Crore)
1 Arunachal Pradesh 4,423
2 Tripura 8,968
3 Himachal Pradesh 23,169
4 Jammu and Kashmir 26,246

7 Chhattisgarh 56,788
8 Assam 64,367

  • Southern states dominate the top rankings.
