Arunachal Pradesh has seen a significant 35.7% increase in GST collections during the first nine months of the 2025-26 financial year, collecting Rs 1,519 crore. This growth surpasses the national average of 6.8% and is attributed to improved tax compliance, economic expansion in sectors like retail and tourism, and effective revenue-boosting measures. The rise in revenue is expected to bolster the state's finances for increased public spending.
