Indian Tax Revenue Trends in 2025

In the first eight months of 2025, the Indian government collected less money from customs duties compared to the previous year.

Customs collections dropped by 7.3%, and the growth in CGST (a type of tax) was also lower than expected.

However, the government collected more money from excise duties on things like fuel, which increased by 9.25%.

Experts say this shows that the government needs to focus on keeping the economy strong and making good tax policies to keep revenue stable.
