How GST 2.0 enables growth in rural incomes through affordable farm inputs and mechanisation

GST 2.0 aims to stimulate rural income growth by making farm inputs and agricultural machinery more affordable and accessible. The streamlined tax structure reduces the cost of fertilizers, pesticides, and equipment, encouraging greater farm mechanisation and efficiency. By simplifying compliance and lowering logistics costs, GST 2.0 helps small and marginal farmers adopt modern tools, improve productivity, and cut input expenses. This policy shift not only strengthens the rural economy but also supports agricultural modernization, employment generation, and sustainable income growth for millions of farming households across India.
