Where Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu 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. Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu 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 Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu 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.

MoSPI's state accounts do not cover this union territory: it has no legislature, and its output is counted within the all-India figures.

What the economy runs on

What the state's output is made of: farms, forests and fishing; industry, which is mining, manufacturing, power and water, and construction; and services, from shops and transport to banks, schools, hospitals and government.

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.

The all-India figure was 4.8%. Something that cost ₹100 a year earlier cost about ₹106 in August 2026, on the average shopping basket of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

Farms

Crop output, yield, irrigation and milk from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and the Department of Animal Husbandry, as the RBI's Handbook of Statistics on Indian States reprints them; fertiliser use per hectare from the farms guide's state tables. The farms guide holds every crop for every state since 1980-81.

In Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphate and potash) used on each hectare was 49 kg a hectare in 2020-21, 23rd of the 30 states and union territories with figures for 2020-21, counted from the highest. The all-India figure was 137 kg a hectare.

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Daman and Diu (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: fertiliser per hectare 0 kg a hectare (2020-21); milk produced 0.0 lakh tonnes (2019-20).

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Dadra and Nagar Haveli (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: milk produced 0.0 lakh tonnes (2023-24).

No figure for Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu: foodgrains grown; foodgrain yield; cropped area irrigated; cropping intensity; rice grown; wheat grown; pulses grown; oilseeds grown; sugarcane grown; cotton grown; milk produced. The source does not publish them for this unit.

Education

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 Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the gross enrolment ratio in higher education (18 to 23 year olds) was 11.2% in 2021-22, 2nd lowest of 36 states and union territories with figures for 2021-22. The all-India figure was 28.4%.

In Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the gross enrolment ratio in classes 11 and 12 was 68.4% in 2024-25, near the middle of the 36 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25 (13th counted from the highest).

In Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the pupil-teacher ratio in the state's schools was 28 pupils for each teacher in 2024-25, joint 5th highest of 36 states and union territories with figures for 2024-25.

In Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the share of schools with an internet connection was 99.3% in 2023-24, 5th highest of 36 states and union territories with figures for 2023-24.

In Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the share of 15 to 29 year olds not in education, employment or training (NSS 79) was 17.8% in NSS 79, 2022-23, near the middle of the 36 states and union territories with figures for NSS 79, 2022-23 (24th counted from the highest). The all-India figure was 25.6%.

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Daman and Diu (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: school enrolment ratio, classes 11 and 12 36.2% (2019-20); pupils per teacher 27 pupils for each teacher (2019-20).

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Dadra and Nagar Haveli (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: school enrolment ratio, classes 11 and 12 52.3% (2018-19); pupils per teacher 27 pupils for each teacher (2019-20).

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.

The World Bank's climate portal draws no area for this unit, so it publishes no state average.

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Dadra and Nagar Haveli (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: average temperature 26.8°C (2025); days of 35°C or more 53 days (2025); extra hot days by 2040-59 (middle path) +72 days (2080-2099); extra hot days by 2040-59 (high path) +146 days (2080-2099); rainfall in the year 1,699 mm (2025).

Before January 2020, the sources published figures for Daman and Diu (before the 2020 merger), a different territory, so they are not compared with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu's: average temperature 26.8°C (2025); days of 35°C or more 1 day (2025); extra hot days by 2040-59 (middle path) +7 days (2080-2099); extra hot days by 2040-59 (high path) +40 days (2080-2099); rainfall in the year 1,594 mm (2025).

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 Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, 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.
