Which states led the manufacturing and services activities in FY25?

 Tamil Nadu outperforms peers with growth in secondary sector at more than double the national average at 13.4% (at constant prices). At the overall GSDP level, Tamil Nadu consolidated its lead in year-on-year growth with its economy reaching ₹17.32 lakh crores in FY25, reflecting 11.2% annual growth. Even as India’s secondary sector (comprising manufacturing, construction, electricity and other utilities) grew at a modest 6.1% in FY25, several states recorded far higher growth with Tamil Nadu outperforming its peers. Tamil Nadu emerged as stand-out performer with growth in secondary sector at more than double the national average at 13.4% (at constant prices). Tamil Nadu has also managed to show the fastest growth in tertiary sector, which is made of trade, hotels, transport, real estate, financial services and other services.

Secondary sector output of Tamil Nadu jumped to ₹ 5.82 lakh crores in FY25 from ₹5.13 lakh crores in FY24, a strong 13.4% year-on-year growth, the highest among all large states. “Tamil Nadu has seen a fair bit of manufacturing activity in the recent years, especially in regions beyond Chennai, in a more diversified manner across the State. The electronics exports growth could be the biggest reason for overall GDP growth and growth in manufacturing,” says, Paras Jasrai, Associate Director, India Ratings and Research. Uttar Pradesh was next in secondary sector growth, with the sector expanding to ₹4.15 lakh crores, reflecting a 9.5% growth.
