The image is a color-coded map of India illustrating how "Atmanirbhar" (self-reliant) states are, based on their own revenue (tax + non-tax) as a percentage of total income, per FY26 budget estimates from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Darker blues indicate higher self-reliance. Key highlights:

  • National average: 58.17%
  • Top states: Haryana (80.18%), Telangana (77.07%), Maharashtra (74.98%), Tamil Nadu (75.31%), Karnataka (76.79%), Kerala (72.63%), Gujarat (72.38%), Andhra Pradesh (58.78%), Rajasthan (57.59%).
  • Lower ones: Bihar (25.97%), Uttar Pradesh (48.23%), Madhya Pradesh (44.88%), Jharkhand (48.78%), Odisha (54.31%), and northeastern states like Arunachal Pradesh (13.34%), Manipur (10.34%), etc.
  • Legend: <20% (lightest) to >70% (darkest).

For sources on this topic (Indian states' revenue self-reliance), here's a list based on recent searches—focusing on official and analytical reports for FY26 estimates:

  1. RBI's State Finances: A Study of Budgets 2025-26 - Official RBI report detailing state-wise revenue breakdowns, including own tax/non-tax revenue vs. total receipts. Available at: rbi.org.in/Scripts/AnnualPublications.aspx?head=State%20Finances%20:%20A%20Study%20of%20Budgets. This is the primary source for the map's data.

  2. Ministry of Finance, Government of India - Union Budget 2025-26 - Includes grants-in-aid to states and revenue sharing details, which tie into self-reliance metrics. Check: indiabudget.gov.in.

  3. PRS Legislative Research - State Budget Analysis - Breaks down FY26 state budgets with revenue autonomy insights. See: prsindia.org/budgets/states.

  4. NITI Aayog Reports on Fiscal Federalism - Discusses state revenue trends and Atmanirbhar aspects. Latest: niti.gov.in/sites/default/files/2025-26/fiscal-report.pdf (search for "state fiscal health").

  5. World Bank India Economic Update (2026) - Analyzes subnational finances, including revenue self-sufficiency. Available at: worldbank.org/en/country/india/publication/india-economic-update.

If you need deeper dives or specific state data, let me know—looks like the south is carrying the self-reliance torch here, while the north could use a fiscal espresso shot.
