“A recent Union government report reveals that Gujarat ranks 23rd among Indian states and territories in average monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE). Rural Gujarat’s MPCE stands at Rs 4,116, while urban areas average Rs 7,175.
Sikkim leads with the highest MPCE in both rural (Rs 9,377) and urban (Rs 13,927) areas. The report, based on the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey 2023-24, highlights a nationwide increase in MPCE compared to the previous year.
The survey collects data on household spending habits, aiding in understanding living standards and consumer price index calculations. Edible items comprise the largest portion of household expenses across India, while non-edible items and healthcare costs also constitute significant expenditures.”
