April Gross GST Collection Hits INR 2,42,702 Crore, Up 8.7 pc; Highest-Ever Monthly Mop-Up!

New Delhi, May 1 (BNP): India’s gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection for April 2026 surged to a record ₹2,42,702 crore, registering an 8.7 per cent increase compared to the same month last year, signalling strong economic momentum and improved tax compliance.

April Gross GST Collection Hits INR 2,42,702 Crore, Up 8.7 pc; Highest-Ever Monthly Mop-Up!

The April collection marks the highest-ever monthly GST mop-up since the nationwide indirect tax regime was rolled out in July 2017, highlighting sustained growth in domestic consumption, trade activity, and business transactions.

Officials said the robust tax numbers reflect the resilience of the Indian economy despite ongoing global uncertainties and geopolitical tensions impacting international markets.

GST collections are widely seen as a key indicator of economic health, as higher revenues generally point to stronger consumer demand, increased commercial activity, and better compliance among taxpayers.

The strong April figures also come at the beginning of the new financial year, raising optimism over government revenue trends and fiscal stability in the months ahead.

Economists noted that consistent growth in GST collections could provide additional fiscal space for infrastructure development, welfare programmes, and public investment, while supporting the government’s broader economic expansion agenda.

The record-breaking collection is expected to further strengthen confidence in India’s growth outlook and revenue position for FY 2026-27.

Mamata Banerjee Warns Against Tampering of Counting Process After Late-Night Visit to EVM Strongroom in Bhabanipur

Kolkata, May 1 (BNP): West Bengal Chief Minister and All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee early Friday issued a stern warning against any attempt to tamper with the vote counting process, hours after she made a late-night visit to an EVM strongroom in Bhabanipur alleging possible malpractice ahead of the May 4 counting.

Banerjee reached the Bhabanipur Assembly segment counting centre at Sakhawat Memorial School on Thursday night and remained inside the premises for nearly four hours along with her election agent. The strongroom houses Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used in the April 29 polling.

Mamata Banerjee Warns Against Tampering of Counting Process After Late-Night Visit to EVM Strongroom in Bhabanipur

Emerging from the centre shortly after midnight, she stressed the need for strict transparency in the counting process.

“Either the candidate or one agent can stay upstairs. I have also suggested installation of CCTV cameras for the media,” Banerjee told reporters.

Emphasising the importance of safeguarding public mandate, she said, “People’s votes must be protected. I rushed here after receiving complaints. If there is any plan to tamper with the counting process, it will not be tolerated.”

She also alleged that central security personnel initially prevented her from entering the premises.

The development came amid heightened political activity in the state, with TMC leaders intensifying vigilance over strongrooms ahead of counting day.

Meanwhile, Kolkata Mayor and TMC candidate Firhad Hakim reached the venue but was unable to meet Banerjee.

“I came after learning that the chief minister had arrived. However, I could not meet her as she was already inside the premises exercising her right as a candidate to inspect the strongroom,” Hakim said.

In a parallel protest, TMC leaders Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja staged a sit-in outside Khudiram Anushilan Kendra in north Kolkata, alleging irregularities and possible tampering of EVMs stored there. The protest led to tense exchanges between TMC and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters.

Earlier in a video message, Banerjee had urged party workers, leaders, and polling agents to maintain a 24-hour vigil outside all EVM strongrooms across the state.

The developments have added to the charged political atmosphere in West Bengal following a fiercely contested Assembly election, with all major parties closely monitoring arrangements ahead of the crucial counting day on May 4.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Key Metrics

 

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Rimini Street’s results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures and certain key metrics. We have described below Active Clients, Annualized Recurring Revenue, Adjusted Annualized Recurring Revenue and Revenue Retention Rate, each of which is a key operational metric for our business. In addition, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Calculated Billings, Adjusted Calculated Billings, Remaining Performance Obligations and Adjusted Remaining Performance Obligations. In addition, we present certain financial metrics excluding our Oracle’s PeopleSoft software product offering to permit investors to see the operation of our continuing business, excluding reductions associated with the PeopleSoft wind down. Rimini Street has provided in the tables above a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures are also described below.

 

 

The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that management believes may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate our results in the same way management does. We also present the non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparing our results against the results of other companies, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Specifically, management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare our annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of our results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Investors should be aware however, that not all companies define these non-GAAP measures consistently.

 

 

Active Client is a distinct entity that purchases our services to support a specific product, including a company, an educational or government institution, or a business unit of a company. For example, we count as two separate active clients when support for two different products is being provided to the same entity. We believe that our ability to expand our active clients is an indicator of the growth of our business, the success of our sales and marketing activities, and the value that our services bring to our clients.

 

 

Annualized Recurring Revenue is the amount of subscription revenue recognized during a fiscal quarter and multiplied by four. This gives us an indication of the revenue that can be earned in the following 12-month period from our existing client base, assuming no cancellations or price changes occur during that period. Subscription revenue excludes any non-recurring revenue, which has been insignificant to date.

 

 

Adjusted Annualized Recurring Revenue is annualized recurring revenue adjusted to exclude subscription revenue associated with services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products recognized during a fiscal quarter and multiplied by four.

 

 

Revenue Retention Rate is the actual subscription revenue (dollar-based) recognized over a 12-month period from customers that were clients on the day prior to the start of such 12-month period, divided by our Annualized Recurring Revenue as of the day prior to the start of the 12-month period.

 

 

Non-GAAP Operating Income is operating income adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs. The exclusions are discussed in further detail below.

 

 

Non-GAAP Income Taxes is the income tax effect adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs from income before income taxes.

 

 

Non-GAAP Net Income is net income adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs after taxes. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below.

 

 

Specifically, management excludes the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for the periods presented:

 

 

Litigation Costs and Related Recoveries, Net: Litigation costs and the associated litigation settlement, insurance and appeal recoveries relate to outside costs of litigation activities. These costs and recoveries reflect the litigation we are involved with, and do not relate to the day-to-day operations or our core business of serving our clients.

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense: Our compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. This strategy is principally aimed at aligning employee interests with those of our stockholders and to achieve long-term employee retention. As a result, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions in any particular period.

 

 

Reorganization Costs: The costs consist primarily of severance costs associated with the Company’s reorganization plan.

 

 

EBITDA is net income adjusted to exclude: interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs, as discussed above. In addition, it is also adjusted by unrealized foreign exchange (gains) or losses.

 

 

Calculated Billings represents the change in deferred revenue for the current period plus revenue for the current period.

 

 

Adjusted Calculated Billings is calculated billings adjusted to exclude the calculated billings associated with services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products.

 

 

Remaining Performance Obligations represent all future non-cancellable revenue under contract that has not yet been recognized as revenue, and includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts.

 

 

Adjusted Remaining Performance Obligations is the Company’s remaining performance obligations adjusted to exclude the remaining performance obligations for services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products.

 

 

Rule of 20 is achieved when the revenue growth percentage and adjusted EBITDA percentage of revenue equal 20% when added together.

 

 

 

 

 

ESS Partners with Alsym Energy to Deliver 8.5 GWh of Non-Lithium Battery Energy Storage Solutions

Business Wire India

 

Next Generation Sodium-ion Battery Solution Enables ESS Transition to a Full-Service BESS Platform Provider for Expanded Applications

 

Partnership Enables ESS to Enter the Short and Medium Duration Energy Storage Segment

 

ESS Tech, Inc. (NYSE: GWH) (“ESS” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of sustainable, long‑duration energy storage systems (“LDES”), today announced the signing of a letter of intent for a strategic partnership with Alsym Energy, a pioneer in non-flammable, high-performance sodium-ion batteries, to add 8.5 GWh of sodium‑ion cells and modulesto its portfolio.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260430967185/en/

 

 

This next‑generation battery solution is designed to address use cases traditionally served by lithium‑ion systems – and those where lithium cannot go – but without the inherent thermal run-away risks associated with lithium chemistries.

 

 

This partnership marks ESS’s entry into the short‑ and medium‑duration BESS (“Battery Energy Storage System”) segment, a market historically dominated by lithium-ion. It meaningfully expands the Company’s addressable market beyond its established position in long-duration storage. The Alsym sodium-ion technology virtually eliminates thermal runaway risk and lowers total cost of ownership. In addition, the solutiondoes not require complex HVAC systems, demonstrates high round trip efficiency, employs fast charge and discharge capabilities and offers a simpler, safer deployment profile for customers seeking superior stationary storage solutions.

 

 

“Sodium-ion and iron flow are complementary technologies,” said Drew Buckley, Chief Executive Officer of ESS. “Alsym’s sodium-ion Na-Series is an ideal solution for ESS’s short- and medium-duration applications where high power, fast cycling, and rapid response are paramount. ESS’s existing Energy Base® iron flow platform is engineered for the 8–24 hour long-duration segment, where deep daily cycling, 25-year asset life, and zero capacity degradation deliver the lowest levelized cost of storage. Together, the two chemistries form a unified, non-lithium platform that enables ESS to meet customers’ full storage needs from a single trusted provider, whether the application calls for firming renewables over a few hours, shifting energy across a full day, or pairing both within a single project to optimize economics across the full duration curve.”

 

 

Randall Selesky, Chief Commercial Officer at ESS, added, “This partnership represents a major milestone in our strategy to become a full-spectrum, non-lithium solutions provider for the entire energy storage market with safer, more sustainable technologies. By combining Alsym’s high performance, non-flammable sodium‑ion technology with ESS’ systems expertise and Energy Base® long‑duration solutions, we are giving customers a clear pathway beyond lithium‑ion — without compromising performance or economics.

 

 

“Unlike lithium‑ion batteries and many other sodium-ion batteries, Alsym’s Na-Series batteries are non‑combustible and thermally stable, reducing system complexity, improving safety, and lowering total cost of ownership by reducing the need for extensive fire suppression and HVAC infrastructure. Alsym’s Na-Series has been developed using a proprietary, physics-informed AI platform for battery development that dramatically shortens the time to bring innovation to the market. The batteries utilize non-foreign entity of concern (“FEOC”) sourced materials and provide integrators and OEMs with a safe, cost-effective, supply-secure battery solution,” Selesky concluded.

 

 

Mukesh Chatter, Chief Executive Officer for Alsym Energy, commented, “ESS is a leading innovator in stationary storage, and we are very pleased to be partnering with them. As demand grows, it is increasingly clear that the industry needs solutions beyond lithium-ion to meet the speed and scale projections. By combining high performance, inherent safety, and supply chain resilience, Alsym’s Na-Series delivers that capability and ESS brings deep experience delivering grid-scale systems that maximize the value of renewable energy. Together, we are enabling a better path forward for energy storage.”

 

 

With the combined sodium-ion and iron-flow platform, ESS is positioned to support utilities, IPPs, data centers, and C&I customers seeking American-made, flexible, and future‑proof energy storage solutions across a wide range of applications.
