September’s e-way bills came in at 92 million, compared with August’s all-time high of 93.4 million, data from GSTN, the company that processes tax returns showed.
E-way bill generation has crossed 90 million-mark only twice before.
The moderation in e-way bill generation, a high-frequency indicator of economic activity, is in line with the mild signs of softening seen in manufacturing PMI and in railway freight in September.
Railway freight moderated 2.7% to 123.53 million tonnes in September from the month before, although it was a 6.7% improvement from the year-ago period.
