Union Minister Bhupender Yadav hailed the new GST reforms as a "Diwali gift for Green India" and "GST Reforms for a Green India."
The reforms aim to boost India's climate strategy by aiding waste management, lowering emissions, protecting ecosystems, and promoting the adoption of clean and green power.
GST will be reduced on solar panels, PV cells, wind turbines, and related devices, making solar and wind projects more viable and supporting domestic manufacturing.
GST on effluent treatment services (CETPs) has been reduced, encouraging industries to adopt centralised waste treatment. Additionally, a GST reduction on biodegradable bags aims to decrease plastic pollution.
GST has been reduced on passenger buses (10+ seater) and commercial goods vehicles, which is expected to encourage fleet expansion, modernisation, and a shift towards public transport, thereby reducing pollution.
