Though the results were declared late, it was well worth the wait. There has been a delay in the finalisation of a borrowing limit for the current financial year by the Central government; and this delay is causing the Telangana State government, which is facing a financial crisis, some anxiety.

The Telangana government has requested the Centre to set a borrowing limit for the state without waiting for other states to submit the necessary details.

Every year, the Central government announces a borrowing limit for states. This limit is decided based on the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).

In keeping with standard procedure, the Centre has all State governments to submit GSDP details. Telangana and a few other states have submitted the requisite details to the Centre.

Based on the budget, Telangana’s GSDP for 2017-18, at current prices, is estimated to be `7,49,893 crore. This is 14.6 per cent higher than the estimate for 2016-17.

The Central government has issued the Telangana government provisional approval to raise market borrowings for a period of nine months, based on last year’s GSDP. In FY17, the Centre had set a market borrowing limit of `18,000 crore for TS.
