About the Seminar
The Two-Day National Seminar on “Sectoral Analysis of GST Reforms in India” aims to critically examine the evolving landscape of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and its sector-wise implications across the Indian economy. Introduced in 2017 as a landmark fiscal reform, GST sought to unify the indirect tax system, enhance transparency, and improve tax administration efficiency. With over eight years of implementation by September 2025, it is now both relevant and necessary to evaluate its outcomes and the impact of continuous reforms introduced by the GST Council. This seminar provides an academic and policy-oriented platform for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to deliberate on these sectoral outcomes. It aims to facilitate meaningful discussions on achievements, challenges, and emerging issues in GST implementation. The seminar also seeks to identify policy gaps and generate evidence-based recommendations to strengthen the GST framework and promote balanced and inclusive economic growth in India.
