‘’The sharp rise in GST collections in the onset of the recent GST rate rationalisation in September points to sustained consumption recovery, broadening tax base and robust fiscal health placing India on a stable trajectory for the remainder of FY 2025-26,’’ the spokesman said.
Monthly Gross Domestic revenue is 2 percent higher from Rs 1,42,251 crore in October 2024 to Rs1,45,052 in October 2025, while Gross GST Revenue from imports registered a yearly growth of 12.9 percent, reflecting strong trade activity.

‘’The steady performance of Indian economy demonstrates the resilience of India’s domestic consumption and the expanding tax base under the GST regime,’’ the spokesman said adding that it is commendable that several industrial and service-oriented states have reported a significant growth in GST collections compared to October 2024.
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Haryana together contributed over 40 percent of the total GST revenue, underscoring their role as major consumption and production hubs.
