GST leads to enhanced credit leading to reduced cost of goods. In auto industry it is expected that the giants who have costing available upto 4 th stage- main supplier - his supplier- sub sub supplier. Therefore they will insist the benefitis passed on under GST. Normal products under 18%.
The 26% is for SIN goods.
These goods already have excise duty in excess of 24% + add VAT at 14.5= add cascading of CST- 1%= total = 40. Even foir those few goods the GST introduction will reduce cost by 10%!!!
