Medicine prices to drop from September 22 with GST cut
Chronicle Pharmabiz
|September 18, 2025
THE Retail Distribution Chemists Alliance (RDCA) in Delhi, an affiliate of the AIOCD, has announced that from September 22, 2025, medicine prices across Delhi and other parts of India are set to fall significantly as the new GST 2.0 regime comes into effect.
The reduced GST rates will benefit patients directly, offering relief on both lifesaving and commonly used medicines. RDCA has confirmed that its members will begin billing medicines at the new rates from the date of implementation.
Under the revised structure, GST on most pharmaceutical products has been slashed from 12 per cent to 5 per cent. This tax cut translates into substantial savings for patients. For instance, a medicine currently priced at Rs. 112 due to the 12 per cent tax will now be sold for Rs. 105. Products that previously attracted 18 per cent GST, such as nutraceuticals, will also be affected, with prices dropping from Rs. 118 to Rs. 105.
