It captures changes in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at both current and constant prices across multiple base years. This dataset is essential for understanding structural economic transformation, inflation impact, and real growth trends over time.

The series begins from 1970-71 and continues up to the latest available estimates (2025-26), reflecting key policy phases, sectoral expansion, and economic reforms in the state.
