Earlier, addressing the conference, Joshi said at the COP26 in 2021, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi first laid down the roadmap for the country's clean energy journey, he set a target that many thought was impossible: 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
“Today, I am proud to say that we have already achieved over 50 per cent of our installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources, and we have done it five years ahead of the timeline. We have also crossed 50 per cent of the 500 GW target (252 GW),” he said.

PM unveils Rs 5,100cr projects in Arunachal, accuses Cong of abandoning difficult development works

Dated:- 22-9-2025
PTI
Itanagar, Sep 22 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday alleged that the Congress has an “inherent habit” of abandoning any development work that is difficult, and this caused significant harm to the Northeast.
He made the statement after unveiling development works worth over Rs 5,100 crore in Arunachal Pradesh, among which were two mega hydropower projects.
Addressing the function, Modi hailed the GST reforms, stating that people received a “double bonanza” this festive season with the lower rates coming into effect on the first day of Navratri.
Criticising the Congress, he claimed that it overlooked Arunachal Pradesh in terms of development, as the state has only two Lok Sabha seats.
The PM said he knew that the Northeast couldn't be developed from Delhi, and so, he sent ministers and officers more frequently to the region, and himself c

t',” he said.
“Modi worships those whom no one has ever asked about. That is why Arunachal Pradesh, which was neglected during Congress rule, has since 2014 become a centre of developmental priority,” he added.
Referring to the BJP dispensations in the state and at the Centre, the PM said the projects he unveiled were an example of “double benefits” of the “double-engine” government.
“Arunachal is moving forward. The new power projects announced today will make the state a major power producer, create thousands of jobs, and provide affordable electricity,” he said.
The PM laid the foundation stones for two major hydropower projects over the Yarjep river in the Shi Yomi district, and a convention centre in Tawang, among others.
The Tato-I project, with a capacity of 186 mw, will be developed jointly by the Arunachal Pradesh government and the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) at Rs 1,750 crore. It is expected to generate around 802 million units of electrici

r villages in Arunachal now have roads, electricity, internet and tourism facilities. They are turning into new centres of tourism,” he said.
Attacking the Congress, he claimed that when the party was in power at the Centre, it kept on increasing taxes even as the common people were facing the brunt of rising costs and corruption.
“Congress imposed a heavy tax burden on the people, but our government has gradually reduced taxes, giving relief,” he said.
Modi said that despite facing major challenges over the years, his government consistently reduced income tax rates.
“GST has now been simplified to just two slabs. Many items have become tax-free. Building a home, purchasing a scooter or bike, dining out, and travelling have all become more affordable. GST Savings Festival is a milestone,” he said.

Exercise, notebook manufacturers urge govt to revisit GST rates due to inverted duty structure

Kolkata, Sep 22 (PTI) Exercise and notebook manufacturers have urged the Centre to revisit the new GST rates, arguing that the inverted duty structure after the rationalisation would lead to escalation of production costs and inability to pass on benefits to consumers.
The GST Council, comprising the Centre and states, had decided to reduce tax rates on goods and services from September 22.
The Exercise Book Manufacturers Association said “the Council has recommended 'nil' rate for exercise books, graph books and notebooks as well as paper used to make them”.
“While the noble intent of the government is to

According to them, the GST rate reduction on notebooks and paper for notebooks to 'nil' would not make those cheaper in the hands of consumers.
The market size of notebooks and exercise books in the country stands at around Rs 10,000 crore.
The GST for notebooks and exercise books was 12 per cent before the reforms.
The rate structure post the rationalisation makes the notebooks industry as the only one whose primary raw material in the value chain are taxed at 18 per cent, and the end product exempt from tax, resulting in an inverted duty structure with no scope for claiming any refund, they said.

Another 25 bps rate cut best possible option for RBI: SBI study

New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI) A SBI study released on Monday stated that there is merit and rationale for the Reserve Bank to reduce the key benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points in the forthcoming monetary policy, as retail inflation is expected to remain benign even in the next financial year.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has already reduced the repo rate by 100 basis points since February, amidst declining consumer price index (CPI) based inflation. After reducing the repo rate three times in a row, the RBI hit a pause button in August.

The report said the CPI for fiscal 2026-27 numbers are now tracking around 4 per cent or less, with GST rationalisation, October CPI could be closer to 1.1 per cent, the lowest since 2004.
“A rate cut in September is the best possible option for RBI, which also projects it as a forward-looking central bank,' the SBI study said.
The report, authored by Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Advisor of SBI, expects the CPI inflation may further decline by 65-75 bps due to the huge GST rationalisation.

Big question mark on whether GST reduction benefits will be passed on to consumers: Congress
GST
Dated:- 22-9-2025
PTI
New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI) With reduced GST rates on several items coming into effect, the Congress on Monday said the “limited” reform comes eight years too late and a “big question mark” remains on whether the benefits of tax reduction will be passed on to consumers.
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, said the National Anti-profiteering Authority (NAA) was established under Section 171 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, to monitor whether GST rate cuts resulted in the reduction of consumer prices but was rendered “toothless” by the Narendra Modi government with a notification issued of September 30, 2024.
“It should not be a case of 'vote chori' on one hand and 'munafakhori (profiteering)' on the other hand with the people not getting the benefits of the GST reduction,” Ramesh told PTI.
He also claimed tha

mplexities have not been eased, which was much needed. There is also a big question mark on whether the benefits of tax reduction will be passed on to the consumers or not,” Ramesh said.
He asserted that this reform is not a “GST 2.0” that the Congress has been demanding, but at best can be termed “GST 1.5”.
The Congress on Sunday accused Modi of taking “sole ownership” of the amendments made to the GST regime and said the current reforms were inadequate, with outstanding issues, including states' demand for an extension of compensation for another five years, remaining unaddressed.
The opposition party slammed the reforms as “applying a band-aid after inflicting deep wounds” and said the government should apologise to the public for its GST on essential items.
In his address to the nation on Sunday, Modi said a “GST bachat utsav (savings festival)” will begin from the first day of Navratri, and coupled with the income tax exemption, it will be a “double bonanza” for most people.

he thresholds that apply to interstate supplies,” he had said.
Ramesh had claimed that there were also sectoral issues, for instance, in textiles, tourism, exporters, handicrafts and agricultural inputs that must be tackled.
States should be incentivised to move towards the introduction of state-level GST to cover electricity, alcohol, petroleum and real estate as well, the Congress leader said.
“The key demand of the states made in the true spirit of cooperative federalism, namely, the extension of compensation for another five years to fully protect their revenues, remains unaddressed,” Ramesh had said.
From kitchen staples to electronics, from medicines and equipment to automobiles, goods and services became cheaper from Monday as the reduced GST rates on several items came into effect from September 22 the first day of the Navaratri.

Answer: A Special Composition Scheme on supply of the bricks (other than sand lime bricks) was implemented w.e.f 1st April,2022 based on the Report of the Group of Ministers on Capacity Based Taxation and Special Composition Scheme which was accepted by GST Council in its 45th meeting held on 17th Sep 2021. Under the scheme, bricks attract GST of 6% without ITC and 12% with ITC with threshold limit for bricks at Rs. 20 lakhs instead of Rs.40 lakhs as is applicable to goods. The GST council in its 56th meeting held on 3rd September, 2025 did not recommend any change on the special composition scheme rates except on sand lime bricks on which GST rate has been recommended to be reduced from 12% to 5%. Hence, all kinds of bricks except sand lime bricks continue to attract GST of 6% without ITC and 12% with ITC with a threshold limit of Rs. 20 lakhs.
