Delhi Pollution HC Hearing Live Updates: The Delhi High Court is set to shortly hear a plea seeking reduction of GST on air purifiers and their classification as “medical devices,” in view of the worsening air pollution in the capital. The Centre and the GST department have not yet filed any written response to the Court’s notice issued earlier this week. Observers expect the government to present its stance during oral arguments. The petition argues that air purifiers play a critical role in safeguarding public health, particularly for vulnerable groups, and should therefore be taxed at a lower rate or exempted as medical equipment. With Delhi grappling with deteriorating air quality, the issue has drawn significant public attention, and a decision from the High Court could have immediate implications for consumers and the industry.
