The government has given a big relief to common people by reducing the GST rate on air conditioners from 28% to 18%.
This change will take effect from September 22, 2025, and will lead to a noticeable drop in AC prices.
Earlier, ACs were considered luxury items and taxed at 28%.
But now, they are being recognized as essential appliances—especially during the hot summer months.
If you’re planning to buy a new AC, this price reduction could save you a few thousand rupees.
