Centre panel proposes lower GST on mango drinks with higher pulp content

An expert panel recommends mango beverages contain 22-25 percent natural pulp. This move aims to revive Totapuri mango pulp demand and farm-gate prices. Products meeting this threshold will retain a concessional five percent Goods and Services Tax. The committee also proposed price stabilization and orchard rejuvenation measures. These changes seek to make the Totapuri value chain farmer-centric.
