"The Telangana state is contributing five percent to the GDP and it is the fourth-largest contributor of the country's economy. The state's per capita income is Rs 2.37 lakh which was Rs 1.24 lakh in the year 2015. Telangana's GSDP is Rs 9.8 lakh crore against Rs 5 lakh crore when the state of Telangana was formed. I urge the Union Finance Minister to encourage investments in the fields of garments, toys, textile, engineering goods and leather so that there would be more employment for the above fields. Productivity-lined incentives to the sector of MSME would contribute 30 percent of the GDP. An increase in tax devolution to the states from the divisible pool would do good benefits for the state" told KTR during his speech.
