Crisil Ratings forecasts an uptick in revenue growth for large Indian states this fiscal year, estimating an increase from last year's 6.6% to 7-9%, reaching approximately Rs 40 lakh crore.
The report highlights that the revenue streams, largely comprising GST and Centre transfers, will be crucial in ensuring this growth. States like Maharashtra and West Bengal will be pivotal in this upward trend.
While the nominal GDP growth is pegged at 9%, Crisil warns that global uncertainties and domestic factors, such as inflation and consumption patterns, could impact these projections. The focus remains on enhancing revenue collection efficiency for sustainable growth.
