Chennai: Tamil Nadu has recorded double-digit economic growth for the second year running, posting a real economic growth rate of 10.83% in 2025-26, according to data released by the Union Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
The State’s growth rate “significantly surpasses” the national average of 7.4% for 2025-26, calculated on the 2011-12 base year.
In 2024-25, Tamil Nadu registered 11.19% growth. The 2025-26 figure could again be the highest among all States, though the Ministry has not yet released data for 11 States — including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Kerala — and four Union Territories.
The back-to-back double-digit performance signals continued economic momentum in Tamil Nadu, outpacing national trends for a second consecutive year.
