Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, during the first live pre-budget consultation session for FY 2025-26, on Wednesday said the state’s own tax revenue has increased from Rs 1,450 crore in 2018 to Rs 3,217 crore now.
The CM said the excise revenue has also increased from Rs 199 crore to Rs 458 crore in six years and expressed hope that it will cross Rs 520 crore this year. He attributed this growth to the government’s efforts to plug loopholes and improve revenue collection, particularly in the excise sector.
