Abstract The economic development with financial crisis management. The system of the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is one of the pioneering and productive models of economic development in pre-modern India. His administration was preoccupied with agricultural stability, equitable revenue collection and distribution, security in trade, and wise use of money, which maintained the stability even in wars, drought, and unstable politics (Duff, 1921; Sardesai, 2002). The research paper analyzes the economic policies and the crisis management of Shivaji Maharaj using secondary historical sources like bakhars, gazetteers, and other contemporary scholarly literature. Through a descriptive and analytical approach, the research brings out the role that decentralized government, revenue-collector discipline, and ethical fiscal management played in bringing about sustainable governance. The results indicate that the economic vision of Shivaji Maharaj is quite close to the current concepts of sustainable development, financial stability, and the well-being of the population (Kulkarni, 2018).
