In contrast, Vikarabad and Kumuram Bheem districts report the lowest figures, highlighting economic disparities within the state.
Overall, Telangana’s economy recorded a 10.1% growth in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) for 2024-25, surpassing the national GDP growth rate of 9.9%, according to the latest Socio-Economic Outlook 2025.
Telangana now contributes 4.9% to India’s GDP, despite being 11th in geographical area and 12th in population.
The tertiary sector, including IT and services, continues to drive the economy, contributing 66.3% to the Gross State Value Added (GSVA) with a 11.9% growth rate, exceeding the national average of 10.7%. The secondary sector (manufacturing and industries) recorded 7.6% growth, while the primary sector (agriculture and allied activities) grew by 5.5%, contributing 17.3% to GSVA.
While Telangana has achieved strong economic growth, experts stress the need for more inclusive development to bridge regional income gaps and ensure equitable progress across all districts.
