Hyderabad: Telangana GST collections rose 14% to ₹4,125 crore in February 2026 compared to the same month last year, officials said.
The State recorded double-digit growth while competing with other leading States. Officials attributed the increase to Hyderabad’s expanding IT, pharma and services sectors, which continued to drive tax revenues.
According to experts, the presence of Hyderabad as a global city strengthened the revenue base. During the period, IT exports increased and several software firms launched new offices. Consequently, both direct and indirect tax inflows improved.

Rising purchasing power also boosted key sectors across the State. As a result, real estate and automobile sales gained momentum in recent months.
Land values around Hyderabad appreciated steadily. In addition, developers launched new apartment projects and commercial ventures. Therefore, demand for cement, steel and hardware increased, lifting tax receipts from allied industries.
Meanwhile, the Commercial Taxes Department intensified monitoring to curb tax evasion. Authorities used advanced technology and data analytics tools to track compliance and flag discrepancies.
The growing adoption of digital transactions further widened the tax base. Consequently, businesses ranging from small traders to large corporations entered the formal tax net, strengthening Telangana GST collections.
Officials indicated that the additional revenue could support expanded welfare and development programmes in the coming months.
