Tamil Nadu has emerged as India's economic frontrunner, recording an impressive 11.19% real growth rate for the 2025 fiscal year. According to experts and government officials, the state not only exceeded its predicted estimates but also outperformed its previous best since the 2010-11 fiscal year.
Chief Minister MK Stalin celebrated the achievement, attributing it to the Dravidian Model Government's policies. The revised figures from the Union Ministry confirm that Tamil Nadu leads the country, surpassing its earlier growth forecast of 9.69% and marking a significant milestone in its quest to become a $1 trillion economy by 2031-32.
Economists like Manoranjan Sharma and industry leaders cite robust performance across tertiary and secondary sectors as key growth drivers. They highlight the positive spillover effects on fiscal health, including reduced deficits and a stronger debt-to-GSDP ratio. Experts anticipate Tamil Nadu could serve as a developmental benchmark for other states in India.
