The district of Gurugram has emerged as Haryana’s top contributor to excise revenue this fiscal year, clocking ₹3,875 crore, nearly 27% of the state’s total collections, as the excise and taxation department posted its highest-ever haul of ₹14,342 crore.

The district outpaced larger peers like Faridabad (₹1,696 crore), Sonipat (₹1,066 crore), Rewari (₹654 crore), and Hisar (₹615 crore), driven by a surge in liquor retail auctions under the state’s revamped excise policy.

The spike in excise income, up 13.25% from last year, helped the department exceed its overall revenue target of ₹61,950 crore, with total receipts touching ₹63,371 crore (102.3% of the target), official data revealed. Of this, ₹39,153 crore came from State GST, and ₹12,701 crore from excise duty. Haryana’s total revenue receipts for 2024-25 are estimated at ₹116,639 crore, marking a 10% rise over the previous year.
