India’s per capita net national income or NNI was around *** thousand rupees in financial year 2025. The annual growth rate was *** percent as compared to the previous year. National income indicators   While GNI (Gross National Income) and NNI are both indicators for a country’s economic performance and welfare, the GNI is related to the GDP plus the net receipts from abroad, including wages and salaries, property income, net taxes and subsidies receivable from abroad. On the other hand, the NNI of a country is equal to its GNI net of depreciation. In 2020, India ranked second amongst the Asia Pacific countries in terms of its gross national income. This has been possible due to a favorable GDP growth in India. Measuring wealth versus welfare   National income per person or per capita is often used as an indicator of people's standard of living and welfare. However, critics object to this by citing that since it is a mean value, it does not reflect the real income distribution. In other words, a small wealthy class of people in the country can skew the per capita income substantially, even though the average population has no change in income. This is exemplified by the fact that in India, the top one percent of people, control over 40 percent of the country’s wealth.

Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (Per Capita NSDP) measures the average economic output generated per person within a specific state or region after accounting for the depreciation of capital assets. It is calculated by dividing the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP), which represents the total value of goods and services produced within a state, by its population. Unlike Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), which reflects the overall production without considering depreciation, NSDP provides a more accurate representation of the state's sustainable economic output. The per capita element offers insight into the average living standards and productivity of individuals within the state, making it a valuable indicator for comparing economic performance across regions and assessing the financial well-being of residents. Higher Per Capita NSDP typically indicates better economic conditions and higher living standards, though it doesn't account for income inequality or distribution within the population.
