There is a rising trend in per capita income at current prices in Odisha.
According to latest information available, while per capita net State domestic product at current prices of Odisha indicate an increasing trend, in the last three years, it has been increasing continuously.
While it was Rs 1,02,166 in 2020-21, it went up to Rs 1,28,873 in 2021-22 and again increased to Rs 1,50,676 during 2022-23.
The Base Year for such an estimate has been 2011-12.
As compared to neighbouring States, Odisha has performed well in this regard. Odisha's economy is now robust and scaling high, said a senior official.
So far as West Bengal is concerned, its per capita income at current prices was Rs 1,06,510 during 2020-21, Rs 1,24,798 during 2021-22 and Rs 1,41,373 during 2022-23.
In Madhya Pradesh, it was Rs 1,03,654 during 2020-21, Rs 1,21,594 during 2021-22, and Rs 1,40,583 during 2022-23.

So this means all these States are showing an increasing trend in their per capita income, which is a positive sign.
However, per capita net State domestic product at constant prices with Base Year of 2011-12 is less in these States.
But as far as Odisha is concerned, it was Rs 70,877 during 2020-21, Rs 79,899 during 2021-22 and Rs 86,512 during 2022-23. This means there is also an increasing trend registered by Odisha in per capita net State domestic product at constant prices.
