Meghalaya is on track to triple the size of its economy by 2032, Governor C H Vijayashankar said on Monday, urging legislators to ensure that growth results in stronger public services, durable infrastructure and wider employment opportunities. Delivering his inaugural address at the start of the Budget Session of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, Vijayashankar said the state recorded a real Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth of 9.66 per cent and has sustained post-pandemic expansion.

The governor said the state’s economy has almost doubled from Rs 29,508 crore in 2018 to approximately Rs 59,626 crore in 2025. He described the growth as a reflection of the resilience of the people and the outcome of focused policy measures.Under the government’s ‘Vision 2032’ roadmap, supported by the Meghalaya Excellence Framework, the state aims to rank among the top 10 in per capita income and performance on Sustainable Development Goals by 2032, he said.
