According to the official data, the state contributes about 4.3%of all-India gross domestic product. In terms of area, Andhra Pradesh is ranked in the country and 10th while population is taken in to consideration. AP’s per capita income crossed Rs 1 lakh mark for the first time during 2015-16, this is despite the state having no capital.

Andhra Pradesh under the leadership of Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu is trying his level best to steer the state out of trouble. The state government is hoping that they will become even better the next financial year after the administration is shifted from Hyderabad and the capital construction begins.
