On GST Reforms, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation, AMUL's MD Jayen Mehta said, "On behalf of the 36 lakh farmer families affiliated with the Amul Dairy Cooperative Movement in Gujarat and more than 10 crore families associated with the dairy industry of the country, we are thankful to PM Modi and FM Nirmala Sitharaman for this landmark decision of reduction in GST rates of most food items and particularly the dairy product categories. More than 30 different dairy and food product categories that we are associated with have seen a significant decline in the GST rates. We are confident that this would lead to increased consumption of all these important food items of the dairy product category and this will lead to a sustained growth in the incomes and livelihood of millions of milk producers associated with it. We are really thankful for this welcome step, which has come in conjunction with the recent reduction in income tax rates also, which means more money in hands of the consumers and thereby an assured future for millions of milk producers of the country and all the farmers of the country."
