Despite the ongoing concern over rising fuel prices affecting the automotive sector, Chandra indicated that lowering GST on these vehicles is not necessary at this time. This perspective comes amid broader discussions on how to support the auto industry while balancing fiscal policies. Tata Motors continues to monitor market conditions and fuel price trends as part of its strategic planning. Rising fuel prices remain a key concern for the auto industry, says Chandra.
