ITC Shares Rally on GST Status Quo for Tobacco Products
ITC Ltd. surged 1.53% to ₹418.05 in early trading after India's GST Council maintained the 28% levy plus cess on cigarettes, diverging from broader tax reforms. The stock peaked at ₹427 with deliverable trades dominating 66% of ₹613.74 crore volume.
While the new two-rate GST structure (5%/18%) takes effect September 22, tobacco remains a revenue anchor for state compensation. Peer companies Godfrey Phillips and VST Industries are poised for similar gains under the unchanged regime.
