GST on Drip Irrigation Products reduced from 18% to 12%

The GST on Drip irrigation systems including laterals, sprinklers products has been reduced from 18% to 12% as per decision taken at 25th GST Council Meeting held on 18th January, 2018. The new GST rates shall be effective from 25th January, 2018. The Company has decided to pass on this benefit of 6% directly to the customers/farmers. This is a positive step taken by the Government to encourage farmers to invest in efficient irrigation systems which saves water and improves productivity. We estimate that this action will have positive impact in the upcoming busy season for our Drip Irrigation Division.
