Other states in top 5 are Gujarat (7.92%) andKarnataka (7.87%).

India's largest state Rajasthan is at number 7, behind West Bengal, poorest state Bihar is at number 14, and capital Delhi is at number 12.

The top 5 states share 46.6% of India's total economy. Five states of South India together account for close to 30%. Eight states of North-East India share 2.8%.
