Assam has recorded the highest Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth among Indian states over the last five years, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India. At constant prices, Assam’s GSDP grew by 45% during the period, placing it at the top nationally.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma referred to the RBI data in a post on X on Sunday, stating that the growth reflected the contribution of the people of Assam. He also said the state government aims to place Assam among the top five state economies in the country.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Assam Pradesh unit also cited the RBI figures and linked the growth to performance in sectors such as agriculture, oil and gas, and infrastructure development across Assam and the Northeast. Party spokespersons pointed to policy measures related to investment, connectivity, and economic activity as contributing factors.

The RBI data highlights Assam’s expanding economic output over the five-year period and underlines the Northeast’s increasing role in India’s overall economic growth.
