  1. With just a day left for the GST Council Meet on June 20, 2019, India may cut down the GST for electric vehicles (EV) to 5% from 12%, boosting the sector. The proposal is set to be discussed during the meet. This comes after Punjab Finance Minister requested the Union Finance Minister and GST Council Chairman to review the tax rates in the sector.

    According to media reports, due to the sluggish growth in the economy over the past five years in FY19, Punjab has also suggested for new rates to industries like automobile, MSME, textile and real estate. It is expected that a cut in the rates would boost the slowing economy.

    In May 2019, the automobile sector witnessed the steepest decline in sales of passenger vehicles in 18 years. More than half a million vehicles were lying unsold at dealerships and major manufacturers likeTata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki have announced factory shutdowns.
