What is the 2025-26 sector baseline for Rajasthan's economy?
The 2025-26 sector baseline for Rajasthan's economy is a ₹18.75 lakh crore GSDP at current prices, with services as the largest GSVA contributor, followed by industry and agriculture. Rajasthan Economic Review 2025-26 is the current official baseline for the state economy because it gives the GSDP estimate, GSVA shares, sector composition, fiscal indicators and district-facing development statistics in one place.
According to Rajasthan Economic Review 2025-26, the GSDP at current prices is estimated to reach ₹18.75 lakh crore in 2025-26, up from ₹17.01 lakh crore in 2024-25.
GSDP Baseline
| Year | GSDP at current prices |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | ₹18.75 lakh crore |
| 2024-25 | ₹17.01 lakh crore |
- Why it matters: agriculture, industry and services can otherwise be studied as isolated departments rather than as contributors to the same state output.
Sector Split in GSVA at Current Prices
| Sector | Share | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Agriculture and allied activities | 25.74 per cent | crops, livestock, fishing and forestry |
| Industry | 26.55 per cent | mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply and construction |
| Services | 47.71 per cent | trade, hotels, transport, storage, communication, financial services, real estate, public administration and other services |
- Reading of the numbers: Rajasthan is not only an agrarian economy, even though rain-fed farming and livestock risk remain central to welfare.
Place Names as Economic Clues
- Barmer, Jodhpur, Pali, Bhiwadi, Neemrana, Khushkhera, Udaipur, Nagaur, Bhilwara and Kota are economic clues because they connect raw material, land, transport and markets.
- Western Rajasthan needs water-risk management and petroleum-linked diversification.
- North-eastern Rajasthan uses National Capital Region proximity and corridor infrastructure.
- South and south-eastern Rajasthan connect mineral resources with cement, textiles and engineering.
- Rajasthan Economic Review 2025-26 works as the statistical frame within which Rajasthan State Budget 2023-24 and Rajasthan State Budget 2024-25 announcements can be placed.
Output Size and Structural Role
- Agriculture: its share is smaller than services, but it anchors food security, livestock income and raw material supply.
- Industry: its share is close to agriculture, yet its district footprint is concentrated in minerals, construction materials, engineering, textiles and petroleum-linked nodes.
- Services: look numerically dominant because they include trade, hotels, transport, storage, finance, professional services and administration, which expand when either farm output or industrial movement increases.
