The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India marked a significant milestone in the country’s tax reform journey. The subsequent amendments, including GST 2, have further refined the tax structure, aiming to ease compliance and reduce tax burdens. This paper examines the impact of GST 2 reforms on the automobile industry, a sector that has witnessed significant changes in tax structures over the years. Automobile is the fastest growing and promising industry all set to make India grow further. India’s automotive industry is a powerhouse, contributing around 7.1% to the country’s GDP and a whopping 49% to its manufacturing GDP. This sector is a massive employment generator, supporting millions of jobs directly and indirectly, and has strong links to other key industries like steel, electronics, and IT. It’s also driving innovation, particularly in green mobility, and playing a crucial role in shaping India’s economic landscape. The GST 2 reforms have brought about several changes, including revised tax rates, altered input tax credit (ITC) structures, and streamlined compliance procedures. This paper analyses the effects of these changes on the automobile industry, focusing on passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers. We examine the impact on vehicle pricing, industry growth, and the overall competitiveness of the sector. This study assesses the pre- and post-GST 2 scenarios, drawing insights from industry data, government reports, and expert opinions. The paper also explores the challenges faced by the industry, including the transition to new tax structures, compliance issues, and the impact on consumer behaviour. This study reveals that the GST 2 reforms have had a mixed impact on the automobile industry. While the reduced tax rates have led to increased demand and growth in certain segments, the industry still grapples with compliance complexities and ITC-related issues. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on tax reforms and their impact on key industries, providing valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning. By examining the GST 2 reforms’ effects on the automobile industry, this paper sheds light on the complexities of tax policy and its far-reaching implications.
