The automobile and consumer durables sectors are expected to be the biggest beneficiaries of the recent GST rate rationalisation.
For consumer durables, GST has been reduced from 28% to 18% on items like air conditioners, televisions (32-inch and above), and dishwashers. LED lights and energy-efficient fixtures now have a 5% GST, down from 12%.
