The second reason is that 86.6% of Delhi’s economy is mostly based on the service sector, just like in developed countries.
Delhi become the 2nd richest state in India
New Delhi: India's national capital, Delhi, has become the second richest state and union territory in the country.
As a report, the per capita income of Delhi has now reached Rs 4.93 lakh.
Delhi has also overtaken Goa.
Currently, Sikkim is on the first position in this list.
Why is Delhi on top?
There are two important reasons behind such high income of Delhi.
The first reason among these reasons is that the population ratio here is less than that of other states.
The second reason is that 86.6% of Delhi's economy is mostly based on the service sector, just like in developed countries.
The contribution of Delhi's agriculture sector is very low, which was earlier 3.5% and now has come down to less than one percent. At the same time, the share of manufacturing is stable at around 13%.
Which states have what per capita income?
According to these figures, even if this list is updated, Delhi will retain its place in the top three of the list of states with the highest income in India.
Delhi's position in GDP
Delhi may be in second place in per capita income, but its position in total gross state domestic product is 11th. Maharashtra is at the top with 40.4 lakh crores. After this, Tamil Nadu is at second place with 27.2 lakh crores.
Uttar Pradesh is at third place with 25.5 lakh crores and Karnataka is at fourth place with 25 lakh crores. If we talk about Delhi, then Delhi's GSDP is about 12.2 lakh crores.
Specialty of Delhi
Many people from all over the country come to the national capital in search of work.
Meanwhile, the share of Delhi's population is only 1.6%. While its contribution to the country's GDP is 3.7%.
This is the reason why the capital's per capita income is much higher than many major states.
