Abstract: GST 2.0 has introduced landmark rate cuts on textiles and garments in India, significantly easing the tax burden on essential clothing items priced up to ₹2,500. This study examines how these reforms make apparel more affordable to consumers while supporting small and medium textile manufacturers by reducing input costs and boosting competitiveness. Drawing on secondary data from government reports, industry publications, and GST council updates, this research highlights the positive impact of GST rationalization on domestic demand, MSME liquidity, and India’s export potential. The findings suggest that while GST 2.0 benefits affordability and industry growth broadly, continued policy support is needed to address compliance challenges and ensure sustainable expansion.
Keywords: GST 2.0, textiles, garments, GST rate cuts, affordability, MSMEs, tax rationalization, input costs, demand growth, export competitiveness.
