Notwithstanding the improved growth performance of India, development disparity across its states has widened in the first two decades of the 21st century. This book examines development drivers of Indian states and what the necessary course corrections could be to achieve balanced regional growth.

The book begins with a discussion on the evolution of growth and inequality across the states and delves into decomposing growth. It looks at three broad themes which are decomposition of growth and determinants of TFP, impact of Infrastructure on growth and inequality, and the institutional dimension of growth and explains why they are pivotal for sustainable growth in Indian states.

This book will be a useful reference to those interested in understanding growth and inequality in India.
