PM’s GST Reform Gift Must Arrive Well before Diwali

Prime minister Narendra Modi has promised GST 2.0 as a “Diwali gift” to India. But will rationalised tax slabs and simplified compliance really light up the festive season—or will delays throw businesses and consumers into chaos?

In this audio, Sucheta Dalal breaks down why timing is everything. With companies already planning inventory, pricing, and campaigns, even a short delay in announcing GST reforms could disrupt India’s biggest sales season. From bizarre tax classifications (paratha vs roti, popcorn vs cream bun) to concerns of state revenues, GST 2.0 could be a make-or-break moment for India’s economy.

Watch now to understand what’s at stake and why the government must act fast.
