E-Way Bill Generation Rises 12% Year-on-Year in April Despite Monthly Decline

E-way bill generation under the GST regime rose 12% year-on-year in April to 133.3 million, marking sustained economic activity despite a 5% decline from March's record 140 million. Experts attribute the April dip to typical post-year-end normalization rather than economic weakness, noting that goods movement and supply chains remain resilient amid ongoing domestic consumption and sectoral challenges linked to external factors like the West Asia situation.
