Big push for 'Make-in-India' & 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', says Swadeshi Jagran Manch
RSS-affiliate Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) Friday welcomed Centre's "bold" reforms in GST, calling the "sharp reduction" in rates a "concrete step towards PM Modi's I-Day call to embrace swadeshi and strengthen the domestic economy".
"Rationalisation of GST rates was not just a fiscal exercise but a reform rooted in self-reliance, with potential to empower MSMEs, traders and artisans, while strengthening the foundation of 'Make-in-India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'," it said.
In a statement, SJM added that lower GST on clean energy equipment, such as solar and wind products, would help replace imports with domestically manufactured goods, boosting the drive for self-reliance and sustainable development.
