This table presents the inter se share of Indian states, showing the percentage distribution across all states and union territories. The data reveals significant variations in state shares, ranging from as low as 0.335 per cent to as high as 17.619 per cent. Uttar Pradesh emerges as the dominant state with the highest share of 17.619 per cent, representing nearly one-fifth of the total distribution. This substantial proportion reflects the state’s large population and significant economic presence in the country. Bihar ranks second-largest contributor at 9.948 per cent, underscoring the considerable weight of this eastern state in the overall distribution. The states of Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Maharashtra form the next tier, with shares of 7.347 per cent, 7.215 per cent, and 6.441 percent respectively. These three states collectively account for over 21 per cent of the total share, highlighting their substantial contribution to the national framework.
Rajasthan also features prominently with 5.926 per cent, making it one of the significant contributors among Indian states. Several states maintain moderate shares in the distribution. Odisha holds 4.420 per cent, while Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have nearly identical shares of 4.217 per cent and 4.131 per cent, respectively. Tamil Nadu contributes 4.097 per cent to the total. These states form an important middle group, each accounting for approximately four per cent of the overall distribution. The smaller states show considerably lower percentages. Gujarat contributes 3.755 per cent, while Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Assam have shares of 3.357 per cent, 3.304 per cent, and 3.258 percent respectively. Kerala and Telangana record 2.382 per cent and 2.174 per cent, representing their relatively smaller but still significant portions.
Among the states with shares below two per cent, Punjab accounts for 1.996 per cent, while Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh have 1.361 per cent and 1.354 per cent, respectively. Uttarakhand contributes 1.141 per cent to the distribution. The smallest contributors include Himachal Pradesh at 0.914 per cent, Tripura at 0.641 per cent, Meghalaya at 0.631 per cent, Manipur at 0.626 per cent, and Mizoram at 0.564 per cent.The northeastern states generally show the lowest shares in this distribution. Nagaland has 0.481 per cent, while Goa, despite being a popular tourist destination, holds only 0.365 per cent.
Sikkim records the lowest share among all states at 0.335 per cent, reflecting its small geographical size and population. This distribution pattern clearly demonstrates the vast disparities between different states in India. The concentration of nearly 18 per cent in Uttar Pradesh alone, compared to less than half a per cent in several northeastern states, illustrates the uneven distribution across the country. The top five states together account for approximately 45 per cent of the total, while the bottom ten states collectively contribute less than 6 per cent. This data underscores the diversity in size, population, and economic capacity across Indian states, which has important implications for resource allocation, policy planning, and federal governance in the country.
