Sales of cars, motorcycles, televisions, premium watches, beauty products, apparel, and lab-grown diamonds have surged in rural India.
In several categories, demand has more than doubled compared to the pre-GST period. Car bookings have risen by 100-133%, and online TV sales have doubled in tier-II to tier-IV towns.
GST cuts have made products more affordable, with net benefits of 8.5-9.9% for small cars and overall savings of 12-15% on passenger vehicles. This has helped fuel demand for both entry-level and premium products.
Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, Amazon, Flipkart, and retail chains like V-Mart have reported significant gains in rural markets.
Factors include GST-related price cuts, strong monsoons, higher crop prices, pent-up demand, and increased awareness of GST benefits, all contributing to improved rural sentiment and affordability.
