In response to the survey results, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai stated that the state government is dedicated to achieving "inclusive and balanced growth."

The Chief Minister highlighted that agriculture, industrial investment, and the services sector are receiving equal attention, aiming to position Chhattisgarh among the leading state economies in the country.

He expressed optimism that the state's growth rate will further strengthen in the upcoming years due to infrastructure expansion, a business-friendly environment, and a continuous focus on human resource development.

Chhattisgarh continues to show solid economic fundamentals even when adjusted to constant prices (base year 2011–12), the statement added.

According to the report presented by O.P. Choudhary, Minister of the State Planning, Economics, and Statistics Department, the state's GSDP, estimated at Rs 3.31 lakh crore in 2024–25, is projected to rise to Rs 3.58 lakh crore in 2025–26, indicating a real growth rate of 8.11 percent. This reflects a consistent increase in actual output and production capability.

A sector-wise analysis reveals that growth is broadly distributed. At current prices, the agriculture and allied sectors are projected to grow by 12.53 percent, the industry by 10.26 percent, and the services sector by 13.15 percent.

This data presents a balanced growth trajectory, with all three primary sectors significantly contributing to the state's economic advancement.

Chhattisgarh is also experiencing positive momentum in real terms. At constant prices for 2025–26, agriculture is projected to grow by 7.49 percent, industry by 7.21 percent, and services by 9.11 percent, reflecting stable progress in actual economic activities and reinforcing the state's structural resilience.

In terms of GSDP composition at current prices, agriculture is anticipated to represent 20.64 percent of the economy, industry 46.59 percent, and services 32.77 percent.

The significant share of industry underscores the state's robust manufacturing and mining sectors, while the services sector continues to grow steadily, further enhancing the overall economic structure.
