Net State Domestic Product

Indian Economy glossary

Also called: NSDP, State income · Topic: National Income Accounting: GDP, GVA and Welfare · NCERT: Class 10, Ch 1 "Development"

Meaning

Net State Domestic Product (NSDP), also called state income, is the value of final goods and services produced within a state in a year, minus depreciation. It is the state-level version of NDP.

NSDP = GSDP − depreciation

Per capita NSDP (NSDP ÷ the state's population) is commonly used as a state's per capita income to compare living standards across states. Being an average, it hides inequality within the state.

Example

Suppose a state's GSDP is ₹10 lakh crore and depreciation is ₹1 lakh crore. Its NSDP is ₹9 lakh crore. Dividing this by the state's population gives its per capita income.

Don't confuse with

  • GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product): GSDP includes depreciation. NSDP does not.
