A study report by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) titled ‘State Finance-A study of Budgets of 2019-20’ released on Monday said that elongation of maturity structure of debt profile by Telangana State was a preferred strategy to limit roll-over risk in debt structure.

Data included in the RBI report shows that the debt performance across large states varies widely. Despite repeated attempts, investors in state government securities do not differentiate much between states based on their individual performance.

With no incentives for prudence or better performance, a number of large states are now running higher debt-to-GDP ratios.

Among larger states, Punjab has the worst debt-to-GDP ratio of 39.9 percent, followed by Uttar Pradesh, where debt levels have hit 38.1 percent of GDP. Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and West Bengal also have debt-to-GDP ratios far higher than the threshold.

In contrast, Assam, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana have the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios among larger states.

In addition to the debt-to-GDP across states, the RBI also flagged off the increase in guarantees given by the state. Data obtained from the Comptroller and Auditor General and from state finance departments shows that the quantum of guarantees given jumped sharply by 37.7 percent in 2017-18 to 2.5 percent of GDP.

“In terms of the sectoral distribution of exposure, the power sector remains dominant – accounting for over 60 per cent of total outstanding guarantees, on average. For a few states, it accounted for over 80 per cent – followed by the transport sector,” the RBI said.

Andhra Pradesh had outstanding debt of Rs 2.52 lakh crore last fiscal, which is expected to rise to Rs 3 lakh crore during the current fiscal. Further, the bank said the outstanding guarantees of Andhra witnessed a sharp rise from Rs 9,665 crore in FY17 to Rs 35,964 crore in FY18.

1.4 lakh crores debt in 2015 as per this article 

http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2019/jun/26/andhra-pradesh-debt-shot-up-by-35-per-cent-says-finance-minister-nirmala-sitharaman-1995551.html

basically AP got in the debt trap as they are borrowing more to repay existing debt or the guarantees made by the govt. the government is finding it difficult to find new avenues of growth (amaravati was the hail mary pass but it failed to take off). Agriculture revenue improved but that is not enough to offset the burden of existing loans. welfare schemes are widening the gap by the day
