Total expenditure from the State Budget as a proportion of GSDP
The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) provides a measure of the size of a State's economy, of which government spending is one component (investment by firms and consumption expenditure by households being the other two components). This comparative metric shows how total State Budget expenditure as a proportion of GSDP varies across States. In 2022-23, this ranged from 31.9 % in Odisha and Bihar to 7.3 % in Delhi, among the non Special Category States; and 62.8 % in Nagaland to 24.4 % in Assam among the Special Category States.
