The Andhra Pradesh government withstood the impact of GST 2.0 reforms by recording a 5.80% increase in net GST collections up to November 2025 due to heightened economic activity in the State along with the discipline instilled in taxpayers through strict compliance and enforcement measures.
However, the State recorded moderate GST collections in November 2025 influenced by GST rate reductions on automobiles, cement, FMCG, consumer electronics, dairy products and others with effect from September 22, 2025 coupled with the withdrawal of GST on life/medical insurance and compensation cess on most items except tobacco products, according to a press release by Chief Commissioner of State Tax Babu A.
He stated that the November 2025 collections were related to business transactions from October 2025. Despite sector-wide declines, except in profession tax, compliance measures and volume growth resulting from lower rates cushioned the impact, enabling total revenue to reach 74% of the target.
The net GST collections in November 2025 stood at ₹2,697 crore and the total commercial tax revenue including under other Acts amounted to ₹4,124 crore. These figures highlight revenue resilience driven by enforcement during reform transitions.
