The Comptroller and Auditor General reports that Meghalaya's economy expanded by 12% in the 2024-25 fiscal year, outpacing India's overall GDP growth of 9.7%.
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has released data showing that Meghalaya's gross state domestic product grew by 12% in the 2024-25 fiscal year. This rate is notably higher than the 9.7% increase recorded for India's aggregate GDP over the same period.
The robust performance places Meghalaya among the few Indian states that have surpassed the national growth average, highlighting a period of accelerated economic activity at the state level.
While the CAG report does not detail sector‑wise contributions, the overall figure suggests that key drivers such as tourism, agriculture and small‑scale industries may have played a role in sustaining the upward momentum.
Analysts note that maintaining this pace will require continued investment in infrastructure and human capital to translate growth into broader prosperity for the region's residents.
