Many states in the country are rich, and many states are poor. Now you would like to know how a state is known to be poor or rich, then tell you that you can declare any state of the country as rich or poor based on its GDP; GDP means gross domestic product. It simply means how much the state has produced. Therefore, the state which produces more has higher GDP while the state which produces less has less GDP.

GDP defines a state's economy; it includes production, trade, service, export-import, etc. The annual income of the state is decided by GDP. This shows how much progress the country has made compared to last year. If we talk about the richest state of India, then Maharashtra comes in the first place.
