Chhattisgarh has made significant strides in governance, economy, and social development, as reflected in the CAREEdge State Ranking 2025.

Its overall score has risen by 6.1 points, jumping from 34.8 to 40.9, marking a comprehensive improvement across multiple sectors.
One of the most notable improvements was in the economic performance index, where Chhattisgarh saw a jump of 9.9 points, moving from 12th position in 2023 to 7th in 2025.

Enhanced GST collections and disciplined fiscal practices have strengthened the state’s financial health.
