The GST Council decided to defer the increase in the rate for textiles to 12% from 5%. It has referred the matter to a panel of Ministers, to review Rate Rationalisation.
Ministry of Civil Aviation in September 2021 had approved a PLI scheme for drones and drone components with an allocation of Rs 120 crore spread over three financial years.
After the amendment, a grant for the purchase of drones up to 100 per cent of the cost of agriculture drones or INR 10 lakhs, whichever is less, can be given.
