India's E-Way Bill Generation Rises 7.7% in August to Third-Highest Monthly Level
E-way bill generation in India rose 7.7% year-on-year to approximately 139 million in August, marking the third-highest monthly count on record. Despite a slight 0.5% decline from July, the sustained high volume indicates strong goods movement, formal economic activity, and GST compliance ahead of the festive season. Experts suggest this trend reflects underlying economic resilience and is likely to support robust GST collections in the coming months, driven by increased consumption and inter-state trade.
