Net collections from exports and imports grew 11.6 per cent to Rs 36,521 crore.

Total net GST revenue for the April-November period this fiscal went up 7.3 per cent to Rs 12.79 lakh crore.

Earlier, despite rate rationalisation, the GST collections rose 4.6 per cent (year-on-year) in the festive month of October at about Rs 1.96 lakh crore. October also made it the 10th consecutive month that revenues remained above the Rs 1.8 lakh crore mark.

As per the official data, the GST collections went up 9 per cent to about Rs 13.89 lakh crore in the April-October period this fiscal, compared to Rs 12.74 lakh crore in the same period last fiscal (FY25).

October also saw robust consumer demand after the September 22 rate cuts towards broader tax and economic reforms.

The government said that the benefits of recent GST cuts have been extended to consumers in the festive season, as consumption is one of the key engines for growth.

Meanwhile, India has consolidated its position as the world's fastest-growing large economy with the GDP growth rate surging to 8.2 per cent in the July-September quarter, while the world faces the headwinds of uncertainty and slowing growth.

Notably, this is not a one-quarter phenomenon as the 8.2 per cent surge comes on the back of a robust 7.8 per cent growth in the first quarter to average 8 per cent GDP growth for the first half of 2025-26.
