Chandigarh has reported a positive uptick in its Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue for the month of November 2025, signaling a resilient economic performance. The union territory's tax collections witnessed a notable year-on-year increase, providing a fresh data point for assessing local economic activity.
November 2025 Shows Robust Growth
The latest figures reveal that GST collections in Chandigarh for November 2025 rose by 6% compared to the same month in the previous year. In concrete terms, the revenue climbed from Rs 230 crore in November 2024 to Rs 243 crore in November 2025. This growth of Rs 13 crore indicates stronger business transactions and compliance within the region during this period.
Monthly Fluctuation: A Dip in October
This encouraging November performance follows a slight contraction in the preceding month. Data shows that in October 2025, GST collections stood at Rs 233 crore. This represented a decline of 4% from the Rs 243 crore recorded in October 2024. The month-on-month comparison between October and November 2025, however, shows a recovery, with collections moving up from Rs 233 crore to Rs 243 crore.
What This Means for Chandigarh's Economy
The 6% year-on-year growth in November's GST mop-up is a positive indicator for Chandigarh's commercial health. It suggests increased consumer spending, improved business output, or enhanced tax administration. The fluctuation between October and November highlights the variable nature of monthly tax inflows, which can be influenced by festive seasons, filing cycles, and broader economic pulses. Analysts will watch subsequent months' data to confirm if this November growth marks the beginning of a sustained upward trend or remains a monthly variance.
Overall, Chandigarh's GST collection trajectory presents a mixed but ultimately positive short-term picture, with the latest data pointing towards economic resilience.
