About This Dataset
Growth rates vary widely across states, with stronger performances in Gujarat, Bihar, and Uttarakhand, while states like Kerala and Rajasthan show fluctuations with occasional negative growth. Smaller states/UTs such as Goa, Sikkim, and Mizoram record extreme volatility, including very high peaks and sharp declines. All-India growth trends remain more stable, peaking in the mid-2000s and moderating after 2011–12.
Data Quality
The dataset is structured in a clean tabular format with numeric percentage values for each year. A small number of missing values appear in early years (1997–98, 1998–99, and 1999–00) and the provisional year 2013–14. Apart from these limited gaps, the data is consistently formatted and suitable for time-series and comparative analysis.
Use Cases
Regional economic growth analysis, comparative studies of state economies, macroeconomic research, policy evaluation, forecasting economic trends, academic research on regional development, and economic planning.
Limitations
The dataset provides only percentage growth rates without absolute GSDP values, sectoral breakdowns, or explanatory factors behind growth changes. Some years contain missing values and the final year includes provisional estimates which may later be revised.
Methodology
The data appears to be compiled from official economic accounts where each state's Gross State Domestic Product was calculated at constant prices and year-over-year growth rates were derived from those values.
