Every Thursday, at IndiaPulse@ISB, we release new insights based on high-frequency data curated from reliable and recognized sources.

Our insights shed light on economic activity, jobs, health, and skills. We work with high-frequency indicators and show activities at the spatial granularity of the states and in some cases, intra-state.

This week, we show:

- Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab recovered the fastest, by June.

- Most states recovered by September

- Some North-eastern states are still struggling

This week, we show:

- Growth in GST collections, month by month from, 2019 to 2020, for every state.

- Main findings:

        ○ GST collections began to weaken in February 2020.

        ○ April 2020 was the worst month across all states.

        ○ Recovery began by July 2020.

        ○ By October 2020, all states appear to have recovered.

        ○ By December 2020, data indicates that GST recovery was faltering in some states.
