Compared to 2013, Telangana achieved an impressive 84% growth in PCI by 2024 and an even higher increase of 85% by 2025 when compared to 2014. These figures indicate impressive rise in people's purchasing power in the state during the said period.
Constant prices refers to value of goods and services adjusted for changes in price level over time, providing a clearer picture of real income growth as opposed to nominal increases.
This adjustment allows for meaningful comparisons of income over different years without the distortion that inflation can introduce.

Rise in avg real incomes
According to experts, when income is analysed at constant prices, any reported increase signifies a true enhancement in people's purchasing power, rather than an elevation solely driven by inflationary pressures. For instance, an impressive 85% increase over a decade indicates not just growth, but a substantial rise in average real incomes, reflecting a strengthening economy.
PR Madhusoodanan, a distinguished professor and director at the Centre for Economics and Finance at the Administrative College of India (ASCI), emphasised on the importance of analysing per capita income at constant prices.
"A reasonable and consistent growth rate in per capita income from a defined base year clearly indicates that the economy is thriving, supported by a rising Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)," he said. "In dynamic states such as Telangana, this GSDP growth is predominantly fuelled by the booming service sector, with Hyderabad standing out as a key contributor, driving economic activities and opportunities."

Rupee falls for sixth straight session, ends 3 paise lower at 86.41 against US dollar
Mumbai, The rupee stayed weak for the sixth consecutive session and settled with a loss of 3 paise at 86.41 against the dollar on Wednesday, amid a strong American currency and outflow of foreign funds. Forex traders said the domestic unit, however, found some cushion due to lower crude oil prices and heavy buying in domestic equity markets in line with global trends after the US announced a trade deal with Japan. At the interbank foreign exchange, the Indian currency opened weak at 86.46 and touched the intra-day peak of 86.34 against the greenback. The unit ended the session at 86.41 , registering a loss of 3 paise from its previous closing level. At the end of Tuesday's trading session, the local unit settled at 86.38, down 7 paise over its previous close. This was rupee's fifth straight session of decline since July 16 when the unit had lost 16 paise and settled at 85.92 against the dollar. Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, said the rupee weakened on a strong greenback and foreign institutional investors' outflows. However, overnight decline in crude oil prices and positive domestic equities cushioned the downside. "Traders may take cues from PPI and industrial production data from the US. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of ₹ 85.60 to ₹ 86.30," he added. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.04 per cent to 97.16. Analysts attributed gains in dollar index to higher inflation in the US that has reduced hopes for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 0.52 per cent to USD 68.23 per barrel in futures trade. According to experts, investors are awaiting the outcome of India-US trade talks ahead of the August 1 deadline as Indian exporters are staring at higher tariffs in American market. If the discussions fail or get delayed, Indian exporters could face fresh pressure adding to the rupee's challenges. The US team will visit India in August for the next round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement between the two countries. India and the US teams concluded the fifth round of talks for the agreement last week in Washington. Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, Sensex climbed 539.83 points, or 0.66 per cent, to 82,726.64, while Nifty rose 159.00 points, or 0.63 per cent, to 25,219.90. Foreign institutional investors offloaded equities worth ₹ 3,548.92 crore on a net basis on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

China Bars Two US Citizens From Leaving: What Are Exit Bans And How Do They Work?
Last Updated: China imposed exit bans on two Americans, a Wells Fargo executive and a US government employee. What are exit bans and how do they work? China imposed exit bans on two American citizens- a Wells Fargo executive and an employee of the US government- just weeks ahead of a key trade deadline between the two countries. China's Foreign Ministry confirmed that it had placed an exit ban on Mao Chenyue, a banker working for Wells Fargo, saying she was 'involved in a criminal case" and was required to cooperate with the investigation. Separately, the US State Department said that China blocked a Commerce Department employee- specifically from the United States Patent and Trademark Office- from leaving the country. The US Embassy in Beijing said that it had raised concerns about the use of 'arbitrary exit bans" with Chinese authorities, saying such actions damage bilateral relations. What Are Exit Bans Used For? Exit bans are legal tools that prevent individuals- both Chinese citizens and foreigners- from leaving the country. In many cases, authorities justify their use to keep suspects or witnesses in place during investigations, particularly if they are deemed a flight risk. China's exit bans are sometimes imposed for political reasons or as leverage in civil disputes, diplomatic stand-offs or even to pressure foreign governments, experts have warned. James Zimmerman, a Beijing-based lawyer and former chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said, 'Most of the time, there is a legitimate legal basis for the exit bans. But there are indeed instances of misuse of the process by the government authorities, including for political reasons." Who Can Be Subject To Exit Bans? While suspects and witnesses in criminal cases are often the most obvious targets, China has extended exit bans to individuals who are not directly involved in legal proceedings. Foreigners with ties to investigations involving state-owned enterprises (SOEs) may also be barred from leaving. There are also high-profile examples of exit bans being used coercively. In 2018, two American citizens- Victor and Cynthia Liu- were prevented from leaving China for three years in what US officials described as an effort to pressure their father, a Chinese fugitive wanted for financial crimes, to return. How Has China Expanded Its Use Of Exit Bans? In recent years, China has passed or amended several laws that give authorities broader powers to impose exit bans, especially under the banner of national security. A major change came in 2023, when the country revised its counterespionage law to allow exit bans for anyone under investigation who might pose a national security risk after leaving the country- even if no charges have been filed. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
