Carmakers were the first to respond after the GST rollout , announcing price cuts on key luxury and basic car models. Rajendra Kalkar, president (west) at Palladium and High Street Phoenix malls in Mumbai, said the transition to GST was smooth. He says the upgrade to GST software could take 10-15 days for larger businesses and is not really the problem. The rain couldn’t deter Kolkatans who were in the mood to try out the new GST prices. Dispelling rumours about GST, tackling scepticism among small merchants and preparing them for the GST rollout have kept Dhabhai busy.
