ENA Sectors 2025-12-12 14:16:54 New Delhi, Dec 12 (KNN) The Reserve Bank of India has released the 10th edition of its Handbook of Statistics on Indian States, to provide a consolidated, comparable statistical resource for Indias states and Union Territories. The latest edition captures updated data series and widens its scope at a time of global economic uncertainty and rising trade tensions. Expanded Coverage and New Data Additions A major enhancement in this edition is the introduction of a new External Sector section, alongside 11 new state-wise statistical tables spanning multiple domains. These include domestic tourist visits (Social and Demographic Indicator), net state value added at current and constant prices (State Domestic Product), the status of groundwater extraction (Environment). Under fiscal domain it included revenue expenditure, capital receipts, state government market borrowings, and gender-wise participation under the National Pension System (NPS) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY). The External Sector has been strengthened with the inclusion of state-wise exports and foreign tourist visits. Rationalisation of Older Data Series The RBI has discontinued tables sourced from the 2011 Census due to lack of update and those based on the 2004-05 base year for State Domestic Product due to use of updated 2011-12 data. Compilation and Coordination The Handbook has been prepared by the Regional Economy Monitoring Division (REMD) of the Department of Economic & Policy Research (DEPR), under the supervision of the RBIs Adviser, with contributions from various RBI Regional Offices.
