Mother Dairy has announced a price cut across its dairy and processed food products following the government’s GST 2.0 overhaul. Effective September 22, the company will pass on 100% of the tax benefits to consumers, with most items now falling under the zero or 5% GST slab. Prices of paneer, butter, cheese, ghee, milkshakes, and ice creams are dropping e.g., butter (500g) now costs ₹285, down from ₹305. UHT milk sees a ₹2 reduction, but regular pouch milk remains unchanged due to its GST-exempt status. Managing Director Manish Bandlish emphasized the consumer-centric move. With this initiative, Mother Dairy leads the way, and consumers await similar steps from other FMCG brands. (PC: ET Retail & News 18)
