Indian States Project 9-11% Revenue Growth Supported by GST and Fiscal Consolidation
Revenue growth for 18 major Indian states is projected to accelerate to 9-11% in fiscal 2027, driven by a 12-13% rise in GST collections and an 11-12% increase in tax devolution from the Centre, according to Crisil Ratings. States' GST revenue rose 16% year-on-year in the first five months of 2026. Additionally, state budgets aim for fiscal consolidation with capital expenditure growth outpacing revenue spending, supporting capacity creation and improved expenditure quality.
