Telangana ranks number one in per capita income

Telangana was ranked number one in per capita income in 2022-23, said the state minister for industries, commerce and information technology K.T. Rama Rao. He tweeted that Telangana's per capita income has increased from 1.24 lakh in 2014-15 to Rs 3.17 lakh in 2022-23. Minister KTR wrote that a 155 percent growth in per capita income is the highest among all states.

"Best performing state under a visionary CM KCR Garu is ranked No. 1 in India," tweeted KTR. He was reacting to a report which quoted the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). MoSPI minister of state Rao Inderjit Singh had revealed in Lok Sabha the details of the per capita income of various states. According to him, Telangana's per capita income at current prices as of March 15 is Rs 3,08,732. Karnataka is in second position with 3,01,673, while Haryana is third with 2,96,685.

KTR stated that this performance of Telangana is despite an inimical union government. Telangana's finance minister T. Harish Rao told the state Assembly last month that the per capita income of Telangana is estimated to increase from 1,12,162 in 2013-14 to Rs 3,17,115 in 2022-23. He stated that this is higher than the national per capita income of 1,70,620 by 86 percent.
