At Rs 14,970 crore Gujarat sees record-breaking GST collection in April

Further, Gujarat’s total GST revenue for the financial year 2024-25 reached Rs 73,281 crore, registering a strong 14 per cent rise compared to Rs 64,133 crore in 2023-24.

With this, Gujarat has outperformed several major states, including Tamil Nadu (Rs 13,831 crore), Uttar Pradesh (Rs 13,600 crore), Haryana (Rs 14,057 crore), West Bengal (Rs 8,188 crore), Rajasthan (Rs 6,228 crore), Madhya Pradesh (Rs 5,302 crore), Punjab (Rs 3,104 crore), and Bihar (Rs 2,290 crore). Among smaller states and Union Territories, Arunachal Pradesh reported a 66 per cent growth in GST collection, followed by Meghalaya at 50 per cent and Nagaland at 42 per cent. Lakshadweep recorded an exceptional 287 per cent rise.

At the national level, the Government of India registered a record GST revenue of Rs 2,36,716 crore in April 2025, reflecting a 12.6 per cent year-on-year growth. Gujarat’s 13 per cent growth in GST collection thus stands above the national average.

“GST collection has become a key indicator of the country’s economic health, making a substantial contribution to government revenue. Gujarat has set a new record in GST revenue collection, driven by robust economic activities, including increased domestic consumption and production, along with industry-friendly policies, rapid improvements in the ease of doing business, and an efficient tax collection mechanism. This reflects Gujarat’s unwavering commitment to advancing towards the vision of Viksit Bharat,” a release by the state government stated.

GST was introduced on July 1, 2017 by the Centre, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to streamline India’s tax system. It is an indirect tax levied on the manufacture, sale, and consumption of goods and services throughout the country.
