CAG Report Highlights Decline in Delhi's Share of National GDP Despite Growth
A CAG report presented in the Delhi Assembly by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlights that Delhi's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) grew by 9.17% to Rs 12.15 lakh crore in 2024-25 but its contribution to India's GDP declined from 4% in 2015-16 to 3.67% in 2024-25. The report notes that Delhi's per capita GSDP growth rate (6.39%) lagged behind the national per capita GDP growth (8.14%) over the past decade. Increased subsidies and revenue expenditure limited capital investments, impacting infrastructure development during the AAP's tenure.
