Per capita income is a measure of the average income earned per person in a given area in a certain period. It is calculated by dividing the area's total income by its total population. If absolute numbers are noted, India’s per capita income doubled from the financial year 2015 to 2023. Wealth inequality However, as per economists, the increase in the per capita income of a country does not always reflect an increase in the income of the entire population. Wealth distribution in India remains highly skewed. The average income hides the disbursal and inequality in a society. Especially in a society like India where the top one percent owned over ** percent of the total wealth in 2022.

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.

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.

See figures on India's economic growth here. For comparison, per capita GDP in China had reached about 6,995.25 U.S. dollars in 2013. India's economic progress India’s progress as a country over the past decade can be attributed to a global dependency on cheaper production of goods and services from developed countries around the world. India’s economy is built upon its agriculture, manufacturing and services sector, which, along with its drastic rise in population and demand for employment, led to a significant increase of the nation’s GDP per capita. Despite experiencing rather momentous economic gains since the mid 2000s, the Indian economy stagnated around 2012, with a decrease in general growth as well as the value of its currency. Residents and consumers in India have recently shown pessimism regarding the future of the Indian economy as well as their own financial situation, and with the recent economic standstill, consumer confidence in the country could potentially lower in the near future. Typical Indian exports consist of agricultural products, jewelry, chemicals and ores. Imports consist primarily of crude oil, gold and precious stones, used primarily in the manufacturing of jewelry. As a result, India has seen a rather highly increased demand of several gems in order to boost their jewelry industry and in general their exports. Although India does not export an extensive amount of goods, especially when considering the stature of the country, India has remained as one of the world’s largest exporters.

Structural Change is the phenomenon witnessed by almost all the developing and the developed states in their journey towards a higher sustained economic growth. The rise in per capita income and the structural change are complementary to each other. A rise in per capita income reinforces structural change and structural change leads to the rise in the productive efficiency stimulating rise in the per capita income of the people. The paper analyses this phenomenon in the state of Bihar which has, of late, started ta witness a higher growth trajectory in its economy. Sourcing the data from the archival records of the various government agencies, the study found that the state of Bihar has mirrored the structural change being experienced by the economy of India. The share of the primary sector in the state's GSDP has drastically declined and is replaced by the services sector. This phenomenon is particularly ascribed to the rising share of trade, communications and the government led public spending in the construction sector. However, the state is not experiencing a balanced growth pattern in its economy; some districts have become more developed relative to the other districts. It has also been seen that due to the low economic base of the state, we cannot expect that the state's socio-economic indicators will converge sooner to the_ more developed states of India.
