Tamil Nadu is growing rapidly. Why are its revenues not keeping pace? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades, Tamil Nadu has been among India’s most diversified and industrialised economies. It manufactures automobiles and electronics, exports textiles, attracts global investment, builds highways and industrial parks, and has steadily expanded its services sector. By most conventional measures, the economy has continued to grow. Yet, the government’s latest White Paper on the state’s finances shows that even as the economy expanded in the post-pandemic years, the government’s own finances w
