“We commend the Union Government’s decision to reduce GST rates on a wider range of dairy products including paneer, cheese, ghee, butter, UHT milk, milk-based beverages, and ice creams. This progressive step will significantly enhance affordability and accessibility of value-added dairy products for consumers across the country. This is a particularly big boost for packaged categories, which are fast-growing favourites in Indian homes and will see stronger demand momentum going forward.
As one of the country’s leading dairy organizations, we remain committed to ensuring that the advantages of this reform are effectively passed on to our consumers.
By lowering the tax slabs, the move will encourage wider adoption of packaged, value-added dairy products, strengthen consumer preference for safe and quality offerings, and enable more families to enjoy wholesome dairy goodness at better value. At the same time, it will create stronger market opportunities for farmers and further energise the dairy industry as a whole.”
