New Delhi, 23rd Sept 2025: The second phase of GST reforms is set to begin across the country. Ahead of this day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, saying that a GST savings festival is about to start nationwide. This is a step towards a self-reliant India.
Prime Minister Modi said that this phase of GST reforms is an important step toward a self-reliant India. The earlier tax system, which was a complex mix of various taxes, was causing difficulties for common citizens. We implemented GST in the interest of the people and the nation’s welfare. Now the country is free from the burden of dozens of different taxes. The dream of ‘One Nation, One Tax’ has become a reality.
Prime Minister Modi stated that the GST reforms are reforms for the next generation. We have implemented them according to the country’s needs. These reforms will accelerate India’s growth story, simplify business, make investments more attractive, and ensure that every state becomes an equal participant in the development race.
Prime Minister Modi added that these GST reforms clearly reflect the citizens’ faith in the divine mantra. To achieve the goal of a developed India, we must move towards a self-reliant India.
