GST 2.0 and the Circular Economy: What the 57th GST Council Means for India’s Scrap and Recycling Industry
The 57th GST Council meeting, held in New Delhi on 8 October 2026 under the chairpersonship of Union Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, will change how India’s scrap, recycling and circular-economy businesses buy, move and account for material. If the 56th meeting was about rates, the 57th is about process: registration, returns, refunds, adjudication, e-way bills and the criminal side of GST.
