Maharashtra Leads India in GST Growth, Surpassing ₹2.25 Lakh Crore in Collections

Maharashtra achieved record GST revenues in 2024-25, while Uttar Pradesh saw significant growth but fell short on some revenue targets.

Maharashtra's GST collections for 2024-25 reached ₹2.25 lakh crore, exceeding its target of ₹2.21 lakh crore and growing 14.8% year-on-year.
GST accounted for 60% of Maharashtra's total tax revenue, with the state maintaining its position as India's top GST contributor.
Uttar Pradesh collected ₹2.13 lakh crore in total taxes for 2024-25, with GST and VAT contributing over half, though some revenue streams missed targets.
Nationwide, GST collections in March 2025 increased by 9.9% compared to the previous year, driven by robust economic activity and improved compliance.
Despite record GST performance, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh faced challenges in achieving targets for other revenue sources like excise and stamps.
