Maharashtra, the financial capital of India, stands tall as the richest state. With a GSDP of over ₹31 trillion, it’s home to Mumbai, the country’s largest city and economic hub, hosting major banks, multinational corporations, and the stock exchange. The city’s port handles a significant portion of India’s maritime trade, further bolstering its economic might. Beyond finance, Maharashtra is a manufacturing stronghold, with a diverse industrial base encompassing automotive, technology, and consumer goods sectors. The state’s cultural contributions, particularly through Bollywood, have a global reach, enhancing its soft power and economic influence.
