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.
