Telangana's government is facing increasing financial strain, with its borrowing in the first quarter of 2025-26 reaching an alarming 37.5 percent of the state's annual borrowing limit. Despite modest growth in tax receipts, non-tax revenues continue to lag, and the state is facing a widening fiscal deficit.
Dy CM and Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka is likely to hold consultations with the departments in the first week of January. The State budget for 2025-26 is likely to be presented in the State Legislative Assembly in February next year.
