Here are key figures from the Telangana 2025-26 budget
The Telangana State budget with an outlay of ₹3.05 lakh crores was presented by the Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka in the Assembly today (March 19, 2025). The Gross State Domestic Product for the 2024-25 fiscal was ₹16.1 lakh crores as per revised estimates. The growth rate was estimated to be 10.5%.
Here are some other key figures.
Revenue receipts stand at ₹2.3 lakh crores for 2025-26 budget estimates, up from ₹2.02 lakh crores last year (revised estimates). Revenue expenditure for 2025-26 is estimated to be ₹2.26 lakh crores, with a deficit of ₹2.7 thousand crores.
Capital receipts and expenditure are estimated to be ₹74.6 thousand crores and ₹36.5 thousand crores respectively.
Over 60% of the State’s revenue came from taxes. Non-tax revenue (revenue from interest receipts, dividends, general services, social services and economic services) made up 13.76% of the estimated revenue receipts.
Revenue expenditure for social services increased from ₹81.1 thousand crores in 2024-25 (revised estimates) to ₹1.1 lakh crores in 2025-26 (budget estimates), the highest increase among social, general and economic services receipts. While expenditure for economic services fell from ₹71.4 thousand crores in 2024-25 to ₹67.7 thousand crores in 2025-26, those for general services increased from ₹43.7 thousand crores to ₹48.2 thousand crores.
During the budget presentation, Mr. Vikramarka asked for an increase in the devolution of taxes to the State from the Centre from 41% to 50%, saying that the cesses and charges imposed by the Centre that do not come to the State reduced the revenue that the States received.
