In a bid to spur buying, the government has recently rationalised GST, cutting tax on several essential items.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday called on people of India ro take a pledge to buy only ‘Made in India’ products to fulfill the dream of a prosperous and developed India.
Addressing a gathering in Delhi during the inauguration and foundation-laying of various projects on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, he urged people to shop freely during the festive season but prioritise buying ‘Swadeshi’.

“Shop freely, but only buy things made in India, not outside. The time has come for every citizen of India to take a pledge to buy only what is made in our country. Promoting Swadeshi should become our nature. Only then will the resolution of a prosperous India be fulfilled,” Shah said.

Shah, on a brighter note, asked women to take charge and indulge in more shoping with the festive season around.
“People of Delhi, Diwali and Navratri will be coming soon. Everything you use will now have a GST of 0% and 5% instead of 28% and 18%. I want to tell the mothers and sisters of Delhi that be dominant at home and start shopping more and more from September 22,” he said.
