Growth Rate as percentage to GSDP (Current Prices)

Plan expenditure varies widely, with smaller states/UTs like Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Sikkim showing very high ratios. Larger states such as Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal record relatively low but stable spending levels. Over time, many states display upward trends, though volatility remains high in northeastern and hill states.

Data Quality

The dataset maintains a consistent structure with sector names and numeric percentage values for each year. Some values may be missing where sector data was not reported or where categories were aggregated. Numeric formatting appears consistent and suitable for economic analysis.

Use Cases

Sectoral economic growth analysis, state economic performance evaluation, macroeconomic trend analysis, policy planning, economic forecasting, and academic research on regional economic development.

Limitations

The dataset does not include absolute sector output values, population adjustments, or geographic breakdowns beyond the state level. Additional contextual information such as sector definitions and data sources may be required for deeper interpretation.

Methodology

The data was likely compiled using official state-level national accounting frameworks where sector output is measured annually and growth rates are calculated relative to the Gross State Domestic Product at current market prices.
