Maharashtra - statistics & facts

Located in the central west part of India, Maharashtra is the second most populated state in the country , contributing the largest share to the country’s GDP. Maharashtrians speak Marathi, a language developed from the Maharashtri Prakrit. Marathi is one of the most spoken languages in the country, after Hindi, Bengali and Telugu. Although the etymology is uncertain, there is a consensus that Maharashtra comes from two words – Maha meaning great and Rathi meaning Rashtrika after the tribes that ruled the Deccan region. This peninsular state, with a 720-kilometer-long coast is lined by the Western Ghats and receives a considerable amount of rainfall through the year , the strongest during the monsoon months. About 82 percent of the state is literate according to the 2011 census, higher than the national average of 72 percent. The gross enrollment rate was 98 percent in 2016, a positive indicator of education in the state. Maharashtra also houses an Indian Institute of Technology in its capital city which is one of the highest-ranking educational institutions across the country. As the highest contributor to the country’s economy, Maharashtra’s agriculture sector contributes over 1.4 trillion Indian rupees to the gross domestic product. Sugarcane accounts for a significantly large area in the state, yielding more than 74 thousand kilograms per hectare in fiscal year 2016. On the other hand, the country’s most important financial institutions including the Reserve Bank of India, the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange along with the headquarters of well-known corporates can be found in Mumbai, the coastal capital of the state. The country’s foremost scientific and nuclear institutes are also housed here. Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the capital city of Maharashtra, is the most populated. It is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital in India. As the country’s wealthiest city, it has the highest number of millionaires and billionaires. Mumbai’s higher standard of living , its promise of opportunities, along with the homes of famous actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan attract migrants from other parts of the country into Mumbai, making it a melting pot of cultures, much like what New York City is to the United States. With three UNESCO World Heritage Sites along with the Gateway of India, the Taj Mahal hotel, and the Queen’s necklace to mention a few, Mumbai brings in an almost daily dose of tourists. The state itself receives more foreign tourists than domestic ones. Maharashtra’s richness comes not only from its economy but also from its culture. Ranging from its unique celebration of Lord Ganesha’s (the Hindu god with an elephant head) birthday to the historical structures that flip through the pages of India’s history, and the billion-dollar Bollywood industry, Maharashtra has innumerable cultural pillars to offer, making it a fusion of 2,000-year-old traditions intertwined with modernity.

Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu top two destinations for foreign tourists in 2021: Union ministry report

The report also stated the number of foreign tourist arrivals during 2021 decreased to 1.52 million - a nearly 44 per cent decline compared to 2020 - citing Covid-19 related restrictions.

The Union Tourism Ministry released a report on Tuesday which revealed that Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu registered the most number of foreign tourist visits with 1.26 million and 1.23 million respectively in 2021. The report was released by Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on the occasion of World Tourism Day at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.

In the report, Tamil Nadu’s Group of Monuments at Mamallapuram was the most popular centrally protected ticketed monument for domestic visitors in the last one year. Agra’s Taj Mahal also featured among the top ten on the list.

"Due to restrictions related to COVID-19, the number of foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) in India during 2021 decreased to 1.52 million as compared to 2.74 million in 2020, registering a negative growth of 44.5 per cent," the report said.

India ranked 54th in the global Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI) in 2021. During the event, Dhankar also presented the National Tourism Awards 2018-19. The annual ceremony had been put on hold on account of the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Vice President in his address spoke about the challenges for the tourism industry that emerged due to Covid-19 and said the last two years were "very tough.” But, in retrospect, one can say that India knows the way, and the country is "out of the difficult period", he said.

The report ‘India Tourism Statistics 2022’ also said that arrivals of non-resident Indians (NRI) increased by 52.6 percent from 2020 to 2021. The United States, Bangladesh, the UK, Canada, Nepal were among the top sources for FTAs which accounted for approximately 80.9 percent of total foreign tourist arrivals, as per the report.

In the domestic tourism graph, 677.63 million tourist visits were registered in 2021 with Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh being the top two destinations. With a contribution of about 5 percent to GDP, the sector created about 79.86 million (direct and indirect) jobs in the country, the report added.
