The rationalisation of GST to lower levels provides a variety of stimulants to the sector and encourages a virtuous cycle of economic growth.

On September 22, the first day of Navratri, all changes in GST rates will come into effect.

"The simplified tax structure brings uniformity across food items with reduced number of tax slabs. A stable tax environment will help businesses plan long-term investments, encourage compliance, and drive economic growth," according to a statement from Ministry of Food Processing Industries.

Consumers will witness overall reduced food prices, making staples more affordable.
