01 / ECONOMY

The price basis
matters.

Bihar DES 2025–26(A) / 2024–25(Q)

State domestic product

Current prices · 2025–26(A)
₹11,07,072 crore
Constant 2011–12 prices · 2025–26(A)
₹5,76,645 crore

Current-price GSDP and constant-price GSDP measure the same period on different price bases. They are shown separately; one should not be read as a percentage of the other.

Per-capita income

₹69,321

Current prices, 2024–25(Q). The DES source calls this per-capita income; it is not GDP per person or an estimate of a household’s earnings.

The source suffixes (A) and (Q) are retained as printed. These are financial-year estimates, not calendar-year 2026 outturns. Source accessed 26 October 2026.

02 / ASSEMBLY ELECTION

Turnout,
with its footnote.

ECI via PIB 12 Nov 2025 release

Provisional figures in the cited release

Bihar Assembly election 2025 · percent of the corresponding electorate
CategoryTurnout
Overall turnout67.13%
Female turnout71.78%
Male turnout62.98%

The 12 November release still marks these figures provisional, pending the ECI Index Card. Female and male percentages use their corresponding electorate denominators; their average is not the overall turnout.

03 / MAKHANA

A crop estimate,
not a final harvest.

Agriculture Ministry via PIB 2025–26 · second advance

60,000 tonnes

Makhana production in Bihar, according to the 2025–26 Second Advance Estimates. The same source reports productivity of 2 tonnes per hectare.

Bihar is described as a leading producer. This estimate does not establish that the crop is exclusive to the state, and it is not added to the separately dated district cereals totals.
