Tamil Nadu recording 10.83% real economic growth in 2025–26, after an impressive 11.19% growth in 2024–25, is a proud and encouraging moment for the State. It also places Tamil Nadu well above the national growth estimate of 7.4% and confirms that the State’s economic momentum is both broad-based and consistent.
As CREDAI Tamil Nadu, we see this not merely as a statistic, but as a reflection of confidence — confidence among industries, entrepreneurs, homebuyers, investors and the workforce. Tamil Nadu’s GSDP has grown from ₹31.19 lakh crore in 2024–25 to ₹35.29 lakh crore in 2025–26, with per capita income reported at ₹4.08 lakh.
The achievement is especially meaningful because last year’s 11.19% growth was the first double-digit real growth after nearly 14 years, and this year’s performance has sustained that momentum for a second consecutive year.
For the real estate sector, this growth story is very significant. Economic expansion creates jobs, improves incomes, supports urbanisation and strengthens demand for housing, commercial spaces, warehousing, infrastructure and plotted development. The State’s economic survey highlights strong performance in services, including real estate-linked activity, reinforcing the sector’s role in the growth cycle.
We appreciate the Government of Tamil Nadu for its continued focus on infrastructure, industrial growth, digital governance, urban development and investment facilitation. These measures are helping create a more predictable and growth-oriented environment for businesses and citizens.
Tamil Nadu has the right fundamentals — skilled people, strong manufacturing, vibrant cities, good social indicators and an entrepreneurial culture. With continued reforms in approvals, infrastructure, housing, ease of doing business and urban planning, the State can move confidently towards its larger economic vision.
