Escorts Kubota Share Price in Focus After GST Rate Cut Boosts Tractor Stocks

The Indian tractor industry received a major boost after the GST Council announced a significant tax cut. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) on tractors has been reduced from 12% to 5%, while the tax on tractor tyres and parts has been cut from 18% to 5%. This will make tractors more affordable for farmers and increase their demand.
