Among them, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are engaged in intense competition to achieve a $1 trillion GDP milestone. SEBI-registered financial planning expert T. Muthukrishnan recently shared an interesting post on his X account, where he referred to insights from the Krark AI application.
According to his post, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are racing toward the $1 trillion economic milestone. To reach this target by 2030, Maharashtra’s economy needs to grow at an annual rate of 18.6%, while Tamil Nadu requires a 16% annual growth rate.
