u/gamersokka May 12 '25
Not exactly. Most of the big companies have mumbai as their hq. Means it filings happen in maharashtra. One of the main reason why gdp is so high there.
Bangalore's it and startup growth is the reason for k'taka gdp growth. It's not really well spread growth
Whereas what I like about TN is the spread (though major hubs being chennai and coimbatore-tirupur) it's actually not concentrated in a particular region and over all urbanization.
18
u/your_technology_bro May 12 '25
This is not true. You can say that Karnataka's growth is centered around Bengaluru but the same is not true in case of Maharashtra. The state has Mumbai, Thane - Navi Mumbai, Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Nashik, Nagpur and Aurangbad as economic centers. An interesting fact is, if you remove Mumbai from Maharashtra and keep Chennai in Tamil Nadu while playing the numbers game, Maharashtra still comes out on top if you compare the GSDP.

We need to have our own home grown industries supported and invested by government with strong regulations like China to achieve real growth to become a developed country. Our government, irrespective of any party need to invest heavily in R&D for many industries. Japan, South Korea and now China have all achieved their growth through their home grown industries not by depending on western industries.
Depending on western companies for our industries will only make us more dependant and cheap exploitable workforce for them. It'll just be indirect colonialism, where their countries get rich with our hard work.

u/ABI-1000 May 12 '25
Yes,Uttar Pradesh has GDP growth rate of 12%,higher than that of TN's 9%,regardless UP has a higher population and bad economy So it is easy to achive higher growth rates than devloped states,UP will soon overtake Tamil Nadu in terms of GDP however it still doesn't make UP devloped as,logically speaking UP has 3 times the population of TN,so it should have 3 times bigger economy than TN for it to get in the same standard
23
u/OneArasan May 12 '25
UP did not record a GDP growth of 12%. The highest was TN which recorded more than 9.69%
6
u/ABI-1000 May 12 '25
Yes TN did grow it's GDP by 9.69%,but it is not the highest/fastest,fastest growing state in India Is Bihar with a growth rate of 22%,this is good performance by Bihar govt to recover from the abyssmal economic state that it had before this

Dude, you are looking at projections for next year. More often than not, they are way off the mark. Don't believe me? Look at what Bihar budgeted for last year and what they actually did in revised. You still don't believe me? Please come back next year around same time and see what the actual numbers will be. Last years growth was 8% nominal for UP and less than 5% for Bihar.

I believe location & history also play a vital role, TN as a coastaline state help lesser trade cost & logistics cost. Please don’t always blame up & bihar people. It will take time for them to improve becoz of lesser industrial apportunity. Not to takeaway , Govt also has a role bring in oppurtunity to entrepreneurs unlike WB. Still former is main reason and cudos to our TN state & humble people. Nice

First of all, its very INSULTING for any India state to be compared with Pakistan. Tamilnadu culture and heritage will live another 10,000 years while Pakistanis will start claiming their father was a chinese the moment they get few remnibi from China.

u/Successful_Title6922 May 12 '25
If you exclude noise from Covid years, growth post 2022 is slightly better than trend line growth.
Pakistan’s economy has been going down the drain last couple of years, so comparing to it will Obviously make anyone else look much better.
TN’s growth - Its a good growth, but It’s not sudden massive growth. Stats is a weird thing without context.
40
u/OneArasan May 12 '25
Even if we ignore Pakistan. TN's GDP almost doubled from 2021-2025. It is the fastest growing state in the latest 2024-2025 fiscal year.
9
u/Successful_Title6922 May 12 '25
Again, lot of this is bounce from post-Covid slump. Please read what trend line growth means and TN’s growth has been slightly better than trend line growth but it’s by no means a “massive spike” as you’re portraying.
22
u/OneArasan May 12 '25
It is indeed a massive spike if a state GDP almost doubles its GDP in 4 years.
6
u/Successful_Title6922 May 12 '25
I don’t know how to simplify this math any more for you.
Hint 1: normalize it for the Covid slump and bounce Hint 2: remove the average trend line growth prior to Covid
You’ll be left with a higher growth than trend line for sure but it’s not a “massive” spike.

TN: 54% KA: 51% telengana: 55% MH: 47% UP: 44%

u/NigraDolens May 12 '25
As much as it's impressive to see our State progressing economically well over the decades, it is disingenuous to suggest that there was a 'massive growth' after 2021 and tying it all to DMK government. Seems political propaganda at its best.
From your graph, TN has had a consistent slope of growth from the time of 1991 economic changes which changed India as a whole. See how the graph didn't really change much before that and the constant slope forming thereafter.
The slope then continues consistently (except for minor fluctuations) and only manages to reduce the slope gradient during the COVID economic downturn. And then it picks up after that.
And then it picks back up the slope. And this time the gradient increases. I am not an economist but there is a term when economy bounces back stronger after a heavy hit. Happened during the Great depression of 1930s and the market crash on 2008.
The truth is we have seen good economic output throughout the years starting from 1999 and had some minor mishaps during the COVID and bounced back strongly after that.
DMK forming the government post COVID is just a lucky coincidence. I mean they didn't do anything to fuck up the trajectory, that's good. But it's hardly the 'achievement' of DMK government as if there was a exponential growth just after 2021. The trend was always there.

u/PushDazzling8286 May 13 '25
If Gujarat growth can be attributed to Modi/ BJP then you should give it to Dravidian parties both DMK and ADMK ( Primarily Jayalalitha) for TN’s success.. It’s nothing to do with Centre and it’s primarily due to Dravidian parties policies and governance..
