Raipur : The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Chhattisgarh wholeheartedly welcomed the historic rollout of GST 2.0 announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the GST Council. The simplification of tax slabs, exemption of essentials, and fair taxation of luxury goods mark a transformative step towards ease of living and ease of doing business.
GST 2.0 will bring immense benefits to industries across sectors, improve compliance, reduce costs, and boost consumption, particularly in Chhattisgarh where agriculture, steel, and MSMEs form the backbone of the economy.
“Exempting essentials like food items and reducing input costs under GST 2.0 will directly support farmers, food processors, and consumers. This is a reform that nourishes both rural and urban India.”
- Mr Sanjay Jain, Chairman, CII Chhattisgarh (Agri-Food Processing Sector)
“GST 2.0 simplifies compliance and strengthens working capital flows, a major advantage for heavy industries like steel and mining. It will enhance competitiveness and encourage new investments in Chhattisgarh’s core sectors.”
- Mr Bajrang Goel, Vice-Chairman, CII Chhattisgarh (Steel & Mining Sector)
“The GST cut on frozen foods means more savings for families (₹400–600/month on groceries), better affordability, and stronger supply chains for India’ This will create more jobs across farmers, processors & retailers”
- Archit Goel, Executive Director at GOELD
