State Income — Structure of Telangana's GSDP
Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) measures the total value of goods and services produced within a state in a year, and its sectoral composition — how much comes from the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors — tells us the structure of the economy.
Telangana's economy is strongly services-led. In recent official estimates (2023–24), the sectoral shares of the state's value added were approximately:
| Sector | Broad activities | Approx. share of state value added (2023–24) |
|---|---|---|
| Tertiary (Services) | IT/ITeS, trade, transport, finance, real estate, public services | Largest share — of the order of two-thirds (~65%) |
| Secondary (Industry) | Manufacturing, construction, mining & quarrying, power | Roughly one-sixth to one-fifth (~18–19%) |
| Primary (Agriculture & allied) | Crops, livestock, forestry, fishing | Roughly one-sixth (~16%) |
