Makkal Nithi AI: Sovereign Fiscal Reform & Revenue Innovation

Tamil Nadu faces a structural fiscal crisis: ₹13.18 Lakh Crore in total debt (including ₹3.18 Lakh Crore in hidden off-budget public enterprise liabilities), own-tax revenues at an all-time low of 5.45% GSDP, and committed expenditures consuming 64.4% of revenues.
