Telangana’s finances are increasingly dependent on borrowings, with market loans crossing the budget estimate by over 53 per cent. Data shows a widening gap between revenue generation and expenditure, raising concerns among economists about the sustainability of the State’s financial management.
Telangana will raise Rs. 12,000 crore through market borrowings in July–September, pushing total borrowings to Rs. 29,400 crore for the first half of 2025–26. Experts warn repeated overshooting without matching revenue growth may impact financial stability.
