Delhi’s per capita income at current prices is projected to reach Rs 5,31,610 in 2025-26, growing 7.92% over 2024-25, according to the economic survey presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. This is about 2.5 times the national average. Delhi’s GSDP at current prices is estimated at Rs 13,27,055 crore, a 9.42% increase over the previous year. The 2025-26 budget is Rs 1,00,000 crore, with Rs 59,300 crore for government schemes, up from Rs 39,000 crore in 2024-25. The revenue surplus is budgeted at Rs 9,661.31 crore (0.73% of GSDP), while fiscal deficit rises to Rs 13,703 crore due to capital expenditure doubling to Rs 28,115 crore. Tax revenue, covering 68.7% of expenditure, is expected to grow 15.54%, largely from GST and VAT (71.3%). The service sector dominates Delhi’s economy, contributing 86.32% to GVA, followed by the secondary (12.88%) and primary sectors (0.80%). At constant prices, GSDP is projected at Rs 7,76,479 crore, up 8.53%.
