For the second year in a row, Tamil Nadu recorded a double-digit real economic growth rate of 10.83% for 2025-26.

In 2024-25, it was 11.19%. While the Union Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation is yet to release data for four Union Territories and 11 States, including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Kerala, the 2025-26 figure could be the highest for any State.
