Egypt Today, egypt today GST: Indian automakers, retailers offer discounts

Maruti Suzuki, India's biggest carmaker by sales, dropped prices on some models by up to three per cent.
Dubai - Egypt Today

Some of India's biggest automakers and retailers announced price cuts on Saturday as Asia's third-largest economy switched to a new nationwide sales tax at the stroke of midnight, replacing a host of provincial and national levies.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST), India's biggest tax reform in the 70 years since independence from British colonial rule, unifies the $2 trillion economy and 1.3 billion people into one of the world's biggest common markets.
Maruti Suzuki, India's biggest carmaker by sales, dropped prices on some models by up to three per cent, passing the "entire benefit of GST rates" to customers.
Maruti, however, said prices of two mild hybrid models had increased under the GST regime, following withdrawal of tax concessions.
Tata Motors' luxury British arm, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has reduced prices for all cars manufactured in India by up to seven per cent, a spokeswoman said.
Hypermarket Big Bazaar, owned by Future Retail Ltd, announced discounts of two per cent to 22 per cent on groceries and household supplies across its stores in 26 states. Fashion portal Myntra, part of India's biggest online retailer Flipkart, was also offering GST discounts.
In Bhubaneswar, the capital of eastern Odisha state, customers queued up outside shops and malls, which remained open till late Friday night to clear stocks of watches, electronic gadgets, cosmetics and gold at discounted rates before the GST regime kicked off at midnight.
Members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were seen celebrating the launch of the GST with firecrackers on Friday evening and by painting 'Welcome GST' slogans on roads.
The federal government is encouraging all business to migrate to the new GST system but its complexity - four rates and several exemptions - has still kept many at bay.
"We will continue as usual unless we see trouble," said a 35-year-old grocer in Bhubaneswar who has not yet registered for the GST.
India's northern state of Jammu and Kashmir is yet to implement the GST as the provincial government grapples to arrive at a consensus with the opposition and other stakeholders. - Reuters
