Study finds India's per capita income was 10% lower under Modi than it might have been
- A Texas Tech University study compared India's actual economic growth under Modi with what it likely would have been under a different government.
- The study found that under Modi, India's democratic institutions — courts, press freedom, anti-corruption — all weakened significantly since 2014.
- The biggest finding: The average Indian's income in 2023 was 10% lower than it would have been without Modi — a loss of roughly $2.65 trillion.
- Writing in ThePrint, Congress member Amitabh Dubey analyses the study — the paper has methodological limits and the BJP has not responded.
