<h1>GST shifts to two-tier 5% and 18% from Sept 22, 2025; FMCG maker to cut MRPs amid transitional labelling challenges</h1> A recent Goods and Services Tax rate rationalisation implements a two-tier regime of 5% and 18% effective September 22, 2025, reducing tax burden on many products. The affected company intends to pass on the tax savings through across-the-board price reductions in its food and FMCG portfolio and has announced forthcoming MRP adjustments. During the statutory transition period, products bearing pre- and post-revision MRPs may coexist in the market, raising operational compliance and labelling considerations. The measure is projected to increase affordability and consumption ahead of the festive season and affect revenue dynamics in the company's FMCG segment.
