NCAER-NITI Aayog States’ Fiscal and Economic Dashboard

The focus on states being the drivers for the next stage of reforms has been echoed over the last decade. States now have a proactive role to play and take responsibility in the next set of changes in areas of relevant domains given that they are largely under their jurisdictional purview. Additionally, state finances are crucial for India’s growth story as state governments are responsible for a considerable share of government spending and borrowing. NCAER will prepare state-level decks/reports providing a summary of the macro and fiscal landscape of each state and will have sections on – demography; economic growth; socio-economic indicators; public finances; state fiscal rules; and some supplementary information. The underlying data will be updated annually, and users will have the flexibility to download customisable graphs and charts that give data on specific variables across states.
