Maharashtra Economy Projected to Grow 7.9% in 2025-26, Outpacing National Growth

Maharashtra's economy is projected to grow 7.9% in 2025-26, slightly above the national forecast of 7.4%, with a nominal GSDP estimated at Rs 51 lakh crore. The services sector, contributing nearly 60% of the state's Gross State Value Added, is expected to grow around 9%, driven by financial services, real estate, and professional services. Industry and agriculture sectors are projected to grow by 5.7% and 3.4%, respectively, supported by favorable monsoon conditions. However, Maharashtra's post-Covid growth rate remains slower than Karnataka, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu among India's largest states.
