Gandhinagar: Gujarat is expected to receive Rs 57,310.86 crore as its share of central tax revenue in the financial year 2026–27, as outlined in the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday.

The state’s allocation has risen steadily over the past two years, showing an overall increase of nearly 30 per cent. Gujarat received Rs 44,019.68 crore in 2024–25 and Rs 48,763.47 crore in 2025–26. The projected jump of around Rs 13,291 crore is likely to boost the state’s finances and enable greater investment in sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, education, and road development.

Among the major tax components, income tax contributes the largest portion at Rs 20,395.40 crore, followed by corporation tax at Rs 16,823.72 crore and Central GST at Rs 15,674.49 crore.
