The state requires around ₹10,425 crore to comply with the apex court's order by June 27; or else it may face contempt of court proceedings. On the contrary, complying with the order will push the state into a larger debt trap with a total outstanding debt of ₹7,06,531.61 crore, as per the revised budget estimate for 2024-25.
