Chandigarh’s GST collections witnessed a concerning 5.15% drop in July 2025, reaching Rs 221 crore. This marks the second consecutive month of decline, following a record high of Rs 363 crore in May.
The downward trend is significant, indicating a potential slowdown in economic activity within the Union Territory. Experts are already analyzing the factors contributing to this dip.
Cumulative GST revenue until July stands at Rs 750 crore, a 2.59% decrease compared to the same period last year. This persistent shortfall warrants immediate attention from policymakers.
The decline raises serious questions about the health of Chandigarh’s economy and necessitates a thorough investigation into the underlying causes. Addressing this revenue slump is crucial for maintaining essential public services and infrastructure development.
