Abstract: This paper investigates Odisha’s fiscal transition from stress to sustainability over the post-FRBM period (2005–06 to 2024–25) using an integrated framework encompassing fiscal sustainability, fiscal resilience, fiscal space, and expenditure efficiency. Fiscal sustainability is assessed through FRBM-consistent deficit and debt thresholds and debt-growth dynamics, while fiscal resilience is captured by a Composite Shock Absorption Index combining revenue stability, expenditure flexibility, debt sustainability, and fiscal buffers. Expenditure efficiency is evaluated using ICOR estimates, an Expenditure Management Index, and sector-level outcome efficiency indicators. The results indicate that FRBM-anchored fiscal discipline facilitated growth-led debt reduction and a sustained decline in interest burdens, permitting an expansion of capital and development expenditure without violating fiscal rules. Fiscal consolidation thus evolved from balance-sheet repair to efficiency-driven, growth-compatible adjustment supported by expanded fiscal space arising from lower committed expenditure. However, fiscal resilience remains structurally constrained by weak and volatile buffers, and improvements in aggregate expenditure efficiency did not translate into commensurate gains in health, education, and infrastructure outcomes, pointing to persistent delivery inefficiencies.
Keywords: FRBM, debt sustainability, fiscal resilience, fiscal space, expenditure efficiency
