Andaman and Nicobar Islands
How the Andaman and Nicobar Islands earns, spends, works, borrows, learns, falls ill and warms, set against India and its neighbours, in 104 figures from 55 official tables. Each figure carries its own year: states publish on different timetables.
Where the Andaman and Nicobar Islands stands
Each row puts every state and union territory with a figure for the same period on one line, lowest on the left and highest on the right. the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is the blue dot; India, where the source gives an all-India figure for that period, is the gold tick. Rows read on their own scales: a dot near the right of one row and the left of another says where the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ranks, not how big the numbers are.
A union territory without a legislature: the Union government runs it, and several state-level sources leave it out.

Income and growth
State domestic product is everything produced inside the state in a year. Divided by the people who live there, it is the nearest thing to an average income each state publishes, though it measures production, not what people take home. Every figure here is on MoSPI's 2011-12 base.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, income per person was ₹2,88,584 in 2024-25, near the middle of the 32 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25 (12th counted from the highest). That is about ₹791 a day for each person, before anyone pays for food, rent or school, and before it is split, very unequally, between wages, profits and taxes.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the economy's real growth (GSDP at constant prices) was 4.5% in 2024-25, the lowest of 32 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25. The all-India figure was 6.5%.

Prices
Retail inflation on the 2024 base of the Consumer Price Index, which began in January 2026: how much more the same basket of goods and services cost than a year earlier. Each state has its own basket, so a state's index and the all-India index weigh items differently.

Schools from UDISE+, the Ministry of Education's census of every school, as MoSPI serves it (2018-19 to 2024-25); college enrolment from the All India Survey on Higher Education (2021-22). A gross enrolment ratio counts every enrolled student, of any age, against the population of the official age group, so it can pass 100.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the gross enrolment ratio in higher education (18 to 23 year olds) was 22.6% in 2021-22, 26th of the 36 states and union territories with figures for 2021-22, counted from the highest. The all-India figure was 28.4%.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the gross enrolment ratio in classes 11 and 12 was 85.8% in 2024-25, 5th highest of 36 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the pupil-teacher ratio in the state's schools was 12 pupils for each teacher in 2024-25, 4th lowest of 36 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the share of schools with an internet connection was 58.0% in 2023-24, near the middle of the 36 states and union territories with figures for 2023-24 (18th counted from the highest).
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the share of 15 to 29 year olds not in education, employment or training (NSS 79) was 20.6% in NSS 79, 2022-23, near the middle of the 36 states and union territories with figures for NSS 79, 2022-23 (20th counted from the highest). The all-India figure was 25.6%.

Climate
Temperature and rain over the whole state, from ERA5, a reconstruction of past weather that the World Bank's Climate Change Knowledge Portal averages over each state's area. Each year is set against the state's own average for 1951 to 1980.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the average air temperature over the year was 27.4°C in 2025, 5th highest of 33 states and union territories with figures for 2025. Its average over 1951 to 1980 was 26.7°C.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the rain over the year was 2,467 mm in 2025, 7th of the 33 states and union territories with figures for 2025, counted from the highest. Its average over 1951 to 1980 was 2,399 mm.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the change in days of 35°C or more by 2040 to 2059 against 1995 to 2014, on a middle emissions path (SSP2-4.5, median of the models) was +0 days in 2040-2059.

State finances
The state government's own accounts, from the RBI's Handbook, set against the state's GSDP as the states guide computes it, with what it pays to borrow and how often it ran short of cash with the RBI, from the RBI's weekly and monthly tables. Actual accounts run two years behind; budget and revised estimates are left out.
This union territory has no state budget of its own in the RBI's Handbook: its accounts are part of the Union government's.

How to read this profile
Every number on this page is copied from an official table, or worked out from one in a way the page names (a share, a growth rate, an average). Nothing is estimated or filled in. Where a source has no figure for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the page says so.
States report at different lags. MoSPI's newest year of state accounts comes from a few states first, so each figure is ranked at its comparison period, the latest that at least three in four units have published, and the newer estimate is given beside it. A rank counts only the units with a figure for that period, and says how many.
Figures from different sources are different rulers. The 2012 and 2024 bases of the Consumer Price Index, the two designs of the labour force survey, and the rounds of the family health survey are never joined into one series. Boundaries change too: Andhra Pradesh and Telangana split in June 2014; Jammu and Kashmir became two union territories in October 2019; Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu merged in January 2020. A figure for a unit before its change appears only under that unit's own name.
How to misread a state profile
- 1
"Income per person is what a typical person earns."
It is what is produced in the state, divided by everyone who lives there. Profits of companies based elsewhere count where the plant stands; money sent home by people working in other states counts where they work. Spending per person, from the household survey, is closer to how a household lives.
- 2
"It ranks 10th, so it is in the middle."
Check out of how many. Some tables cover 36 units, some 19. A rank says nothing about the distance to the next state; the row in the first chart shows it.
- 3
"This figure is from this year."
Each figure carries its own period, printed beside it. A family health survey figure, a college enrolment ratio and a state's accounts each come from a different year, and the newest of them can be years apart. Two figures side by side may not describe the same year.
- 4
"A low credit-deposit ratio means banks are not lending."
Loans are counted where they are sanctioned. A company with plants in one state may borrow in Mumbai; a farmer's crop loan stays local. A low ratio says that much of the money saved in the state is lent elsewhere.
- 5
"The state's weather station says otherwise."
The climate figures are averages over the whole area of the state, from a reconstruction of past weather, not readings at one station. A city can be warmer or wetter than its state's average.
