Hyderabad: Telangana recorded a strong increase in Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenues in April 2026; collections rose 35% year-on-year to ₹4,621 crore compared to ₹3,422 crore in April last year. This is the highest ever monthly collection since the inception of GST, surpassing the previous record of ₹ 4,231 crore recorded just a month ago, data released by the commercial taxes department showed on Friday.

The data reflects sustained economic momentum and increased tax compliance in the state, the department said.

The state has consistently maintained GST collections above ₹4,000 crore for four months since January; This indicates a strong revival in economic activity and steady income growth. The sharp increase in collections was attributed to an increase in economic activity in key sectors, aided by a business-friendly environment that attracted new investments, enabled the expansion of existing businesses and increased consumption levels.

Improved compliance measures and better enforcement also play an important role in generating revenue, officials said. The sustained growth trend in GST collections underscores the strengthening fiscal position of the state and reflects the resilience of the Telangana economy.
