HYDERABAD: Telangana recorded steady growth in Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections and registrations during 2025–26, indicating improved economic activity and stronger compliance, according to data released by the Centre on Wednesday.
The number of GST registrations (GSTINs) rose to 3,21,043 as of March 31, 2026, compared with 2,48,378 in the previous year. This reflects a significant expansion of the taxpayer base.

In terms of growth, CGST collections increased by 10.3 per cent, while SGST grew by 4.9 per cent. Overall GST collections rose by 7.4 per cent during the year, pointing to a stable upward trend in revenue mobilisation.
Monthly data for March 2026 showed strong performance. Pre-settlement SGST collections increased from ₹1,822 crore in March 2025 to ₹2,168 crore, registering 19 per cent growth, higher than the national average.
Post-settlement SGST collections rose from ₹3,685 crore to ₹4,020 crore, marking a 9 per cent increase and outperforming national trends.
Pre-settlement growth signals stronger tax generation base
