Hyderabad: Telangana’s fiscal position has shown a mixed trend by the end of August 2025 in current fiscal 2025-26, with the revenue deficit narrowing compared to the previous month but the fiscal deficit widening further, according to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report released on Tuesday.
The report pegged the state’s revenue deficit at Rs.11,051.95 crore in August 2025, against a projected revenue surplus of Rs.2,738.33 crore in the Budget Estimates (BE) for 2025-26.
While the revenue gap remains significant, it is lower than the Rs.12,564.77 crore deficit reported in July 2025, reflecting a slight improvement in revenue flows.
However, fiscal deficit trends remain a concern.
The CAG recorded the state’s fiscal deficit at Rs.33,415.15 crore in August 2025, up from Rs.24,699.88 crore in July 2025.
