The 2025 GST cuts on electronics have sparked festive cheer for consumers across India, making household appliances more affordable than ever. From televisions and air conditioners to dishwashers and other smart gadgets, several high-demand products have seen a significant reduction in taxes. With lower GST rates now reflected in retail prices, this festive season is the perfect opportunity for shoppers to upgrade their homes without overspending.
In September 2025, the Government of India revised GST slabs on electronics, simplifying the tax structure and offering direct benefits to buyers.

- The GST Council announced new reforms, lowering the slab on several consumer appliances to 18%.
- According to the Press Information Bureau (PIB) and Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC), more than 400 household items are now cheaper under revised GST rules.
This move, effective from 22 September 2025, is expected to boost consumer demand, support India’s electronics market, and encourage adoption of modern, energy-efficient appliances.
