NEW DELHI – The number of e-way bills generated in April rose 23.4% on year to 119.27 million, according to data from the Goods and Services Tax Network. Sequentially, the number of e-way bills generated fell 4.2% from the record high of 124.51 million in March.
Despite falling from March, the number of e-way bills generated in April was the second-highest of all time. The year-on-year growth of 23.4% in generation of e-way bills in April was the highest since October 2023, reflecting an improvement in economic activity in the country.
An e-way bill is a GST document for transport of goods worth more than INR 50,000 within or outside a state. The number of e-way bills generated is taken as a lead indicator of economic activity and domestic trade.
The increase in e-way bills generally suggests GST collections would be robust the following month, as most transactions are reflected in the next month's collections. GST collections rose 12.6% on year to INR 2.37 trillion in April, data released earlier this month showed. End
