CAG Report Highlights Decline in Delhi's GDP Contribution and Capital Spending
A CAG report tabled by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlights that while Delhi's GSDP grew 9.17% to Rs 12.15 lakh crore in 2024-25, its contribution to India's GDP declined from 4% in 2015-16 to 3.67%. The report notes slower per capita GSDP growth compared to the national average, rising subsidies, and a sharp fall in capital expenditure impacting infrastructure. Financial assistance to local bodies largely funded routine expenses, with capital asset grants dropping significantly in 2024-25.
