RAS question
What is Rajasthan's GSDP at current prices as per the Economic Review 2025-26?
Correct answer: (D) ₹18.75 lakh crore.
As per the Government of Rajasthan's Economic Review 2025-26, Rajasthan's GSDP at current prices is estimated at ₹18.75 lakh crore for 2025-26.
Explanation
The official Economic Review 2025-26 places Rajasthan's Gross State Domestic Product at current prices at ₹18.75 lakh crore for 2025-26. This is the nominal, current-price estimate, so ₹18.75 lakh crore is the correct figure for GSDP at current prices rather than constant prices. The Review also gives the comparison point: current-price GSDP was ₹17.01 lakh crore in 2024-25, and the move to ₹18.75 lakh crore represents a 10.24 per cent growth rate. That makes option D the only option matching the Economic Review figure.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) ₹22.00 lakh crore is higher than the Economic Review's current-price GSDP estimate of ₹18.75 lakh crore for 2025-26.
- (B) ₹15.00 lakh crore does not match the official current-price GSDP estimate of ₹18.75 lakh crore.
- (C) ₹12.50 lakh crore is below the current-price GSDP figure reported in the Economic Review for 2025-26.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan macroeconomic indicators, especially the distinction between current-price and constant-price GSDP. RAS frequently asks such figures because the Economic Review is the official annual source for state economy data.
