India Announces GST Reforms to Support Export Growth and Supply Chain Competitiveness
India's upcoming GST reforms aim to boost exports by treating contract manufacturing for foreign principals and certain services as exports. Changes include expanded refunds on input services and capital goods, faster refund processing, and recognition of services performed on foreign goods within India as exports. These measures seek to enhance liquidity, support investment, and improve competitiveness for manufacturers and service providers with overseas operations. Implementation is set for April 1, 2027, with separate eligibility dates specified by the finance ministry.
