Arunachal Pradesh is set to witness a sharp rise in its economic output, with the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) projected to touch Rs 50,651 crore in the financial year 2026–27, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein said on Friday. The projected figure marks a notable increase from Rs 41,314 crore estimated for the 2025–26 fiscal, pointing to steady economic growth in the northeastern state. Mein, who also handles the finance, planning and investment departments, said the latest projection reflects strong economic momentum and improving financial health. He said the state’s GSDP has been on a consistent upward path over the past few years, indicating that the government’s policies are beginning to show results on the ground. “The state’s GSDP continues to reflect a strong and steady growth trajectory,” Mein said, citing recent communication from the Union Ministry of Finance.
According to him, the expected rise in GSDP is not sudden but the result of sustained efforts in strengthening the economy. He said better fiscal management and increased investment in infrastructure and key sectors have played a major role in pushing growth.“This significant increase shows the impact of our development policies and improved financial management,” Mein said, adding that multiple sectors are contributing to the overall expansion of the state’s economy.The Deputy Chief Minister stressed that the government is focusing on long-term and balanced development. He said the aim is not just growth in numbers but also improving the quality of life of people across the state. “It reaffirms our commitment to accelerating inclusive growth, strengthening infrastructure, and enhancing livelihood opportunities for our people,” he said.
Mein also underlined that the broader goal of the government is to build a strong and self-reliant economy. He said efforts are being made to ensure that development benefits reach all sections of society in a fair manner.Officials said that factors such as higher capital spending, better resource mobilisation, and improved tax collection have helped the state maintain financial discipline. Continued focus on fiscal prudence has also supported the growth trend. The projected jump in GSDP comes at a time when Arunachal Pradesh is investing in roads, connectivity, and other key infrastructure projects, which are expected to further boost economic activity in the coming years.
