The Union Agriculture Minister, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, is holding a crucial meeting today in New Delhi with representatives from various agricultural machinery and tractor associations. The primary focus is to ensure that the recent reduction in GST rates on agricultural equipment, from 12-18% down to 5%, directly benefits farmers. This GST cut is expected to lower prices for tractors and machinery by 7-13%, and when combined with existing subsidies, will provide significant savings for farmers.
