The State Planning Board has approved the plan outlay for the State for the 2024-25 financial year. The plan size is similar to that of 2023-24, with a slight increase in the outlay for Local Self-governments (LSG), sources said.
In 2023-24, the plan outlay was ₹ 30,370 crore with ₹ 8258 crore earmarked for LSG. The aggregate plan outlay, including Centre’s share of Centrally sponsored schemes, had been ₹38,629.19 crore.
This year, there was talk that the plan size would be reduced by a small percentage. But that has not happened as the outlay for some areas had to be increased, sources said.
