Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Thursday hailed the GST cut on lifesaving medicines and medical devices, and the raised taxes on pan masala, tobacco products, cigarettes and sugary drinks.
According to the PM, the NextGen GST measures reflect the vision of a 'Swasth Bharat' by making essential food items, cooking necessities, and protein-rich products more affordable for families throughout India.
Responding to the GST rationalisation announced on Wednesday, PM Modi said in a series of posts on 'X' that the NextGen GST reforms are another step towards empowering thousands of dairy farmers, and making dairy products more accessible.
