Goods and services tax (GST) was high at 28 percent, thankfully the government decided to bring it down to the pre-GST rates of 18 percent which is a big boost to the cables and wires segment and in the coming quarters we should be seeing decent growth in the cables and wires business, said Gupta.
Aim to triple revenues in 5-6 years; sluggish growth may continue in Q3: Havells
Move to GST is positive; see normalcy in coming quarters: Havells India
Consumers may have to pay more due to higher tax incidence: Havells India
According to him, GST has been a big boon to the organised manufacturers, also to the consumers because a lot of cost inefficiency which was there in the system of taxes is being passed on to the consumers.
It is beneficial for the government as well because compliance is increasing. Overall it is a win-win for all the stakeholders, whether it is manufacturers, government or the consumers, he further mentioned.
Eventually, GST will pan out to be a very good thing for manufacturers as well, he said.
Speaking on margins, he said, we plan to retain margins in most of our business categories.
