GST 2.0 to cut food prices and boost ease of living, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday highlighted that the latest GST reforms are not just technical changes but bold steps to enhance ease of living, ease of doing business, and ease of investing.

“By lowering rates on everyday foods and packaging, they make groceries more affordable, boost MSMEs, support farmers, and improve India’s global food competitiveness”, PM Modi stated.

The Prime Minister was responding on X to an article written by Union Minister Chirag



Paswan on the GST 2.0 reforms that will kick in on September 22, just ahead of the festive season, to reduce the prices of over 90 per cent goods sold in markets across the country.

“In his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Modi committed to next-generation Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms by Diwali. From September 22, that promise will show up in grocery bills nationwide. This is the essence of these changes: It’s a relief you can taste,” Union Minister Paswan said in the article.
