RAS question
What was Jodhpur's Gross District Domestic Product at current prices in 2023-24?
Correct answer: (B) ₹83,191 crore.
Jodhpur's Gross District Domestic Product at current prices in 2023-24 was ₹83,191 crore.
Explanation
The Economic Review 2024-25 places Jodhpur third among Rajasthan's top five districts by Gross District Domestic Product at current prices in 2023-24. Jodhpur's current-price GDDP was ₹83,191 crore, rising from ₹74,635 crore in 2022-23. That movement produced a growth rate of 11.46 per cent, making ₹83,191 crore the correct current-price figure. Jodhpur's constant-price GDDP was ₹44,974 crore, so ₹83,191 crore belongs to the current-prices measure rather than the constant-prices measure.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) ₹40,000 crore is far below the Economic Review's current-price figure for Jodhpur, which is ₹83,191 crore.
- (C) ₹60,000 crore is below Jodhpur's 2023-24 current-price GDDP of ₹83,191 crore.
- (D) ₹1,00,000 crore overstates Jodhpur's 2023-24 current-price GDDP of ₹83,191 crore.
Concept
District-level income accounting in Rajasthan's economy depends on the distinction between GDDP at current prices and constant prices. Economic Review figures often support RAS preparation on district rankings, growth rates and district-economy patterns.
