This book explores how the introduction of GST reshaped the Indian cement industry. Covering a decade-long period (2012–2022) and analyzing data from 40 major cement companies, it analyzes the industry performance pre and post tax reform. With the use of tools like Data Envelopment Analysis and time series models, the study uncovers how GST initially caused disruptions leading to efficiency drop and companies struggling to adjust. But over time, things improved. By 2020-21, companies began recovering, and overall efficiency rose. The analysis shows that GST, despite early challenges, brought long-term benefits by simplifying taxes, lowering logistics costs, and streamlining supply chains. This book offers a clear picture of how a major policy shift impacted a core sector of the economy, highlighting the industry’s ability to adapt and grow in a changing environment. It’s a valuable read for anyone interested in tax reforms, industrial performance, and India’s economic journey.
