Diwali 2025 & The New GST on Batteries โ Why Itโs Great News for Every Home Powered by Solance Batteries
09 Oct

Every Diwali, India lights up in joy โ diyas, LEDs, and lamps bring a glow that fills every home. But behind every bright moment is one silent hero โ the battery.
From inverter backups to solar power storage, batteries quietly keep our lives bright when the grid goes dark. And this Diwali 2025, that silent hero is getting the spotlight, thanks to Indiaโs new GST 2.0 reform โ a change thatโs making power backup systems more affordable than ever.
Letโs see how this new GST connects with the spirit of Diwali โ and why Solance Batteries is leading this powerful transformation.
๐ก GST 2.0 โ Powering a Simpler, Fairer India
Indiaโs GST 2.0 reform, launched in September 2025, is one of the most important tax changes since 2017. The government simplified the multiple tax slabs into just two key categories โ 5% and 18%.
And hereโs the good news for energy consumers โ batteries now have a fairer, lower tax rate.
Earlier, most batteries were taxed at 28%.
Now, under GST 2.0, inverter and lithium batteries come under 18%, while solar and renewable batteries enjoy a lower 5% GST rate.
This means your home power systems, solar installations, and even electric mobility batteries just became more affordable.
๐ What This Means for the Battery Market
โ
1. Lower Prices, Higher Value
The GST reduction directly brings down the cost of inverter and storage batteries. A battery that used to cost โน10,000 could now save you around โน800โโน1,000 โ a big difference during festive spending.
โ 2. Solar Power Becomes More Affordable
The government is rewarding clean energy users. With 5% GST on solar batteries, installing solar setups is now within reach for more Indian homes.
Solance Batteries offers a full range of solar-compatible systems that can cut electricity bills and keep homes lit sustainably.
โ 3. Simpler Rates, Smoother Business
Before GST 2.0, different uses meant different rates โ mobile batteries, EV batteries, and inverter batteries were all taxed separately. Now, the 18% standard rate brings uniformity, transparency, and convenience for everyone.
๐ Diwali 2025 โ The Perfect Time for This Change
The timing couldnโt be better. As Diwali approaches, every household gears up to light, decorate, and power up. With the new GST, this yearโs celebration just got more affordable.
โจ 1. Save More on Every Purchase
Whether itโs an inverter for your home or a solar battery for your terrace setup, the lower GST makes your investment lighter on your pocket.
โจ 2. More Festive Offers from Retailers
Dealers now have room to launch exciting offers โ like festive combos, LED bundles, or Solance discount packs. Expect special โDiwali Power Offers from Solance Batteriesโ at your nearest stores.
โจ 3. Solar Power Joins the Festivities
Thereโs no better symbol of light than the sun itself. With 5% GST on solar setups, this Diwali could mark your first step toward solar independence.
Solance Solar Batteries make that switch easy โ efficient, durable, and made for Indian conditions.
โ๏ธ The Industry Impact โ How GST 2.0 Powers Growth
๐น For Manufacturers
With uniform 18% GST, manufacturers like Solance Batteries can now plan production more confidently. The reduced complexity means better supply chains, faster deliveries, and smoother operations.
๐น For Retailers
Retailers benefit from simpler billing systems and clearer product pricing. They can pass on savings directly to customers, creating more trust and repeat business.
๐น For the Economy
Lower GST = lower prices = higher sales = more growth.
This chain reaction not only helps industries grow but also supports Indiaโs move toward a sustainable, energy-secure future.
๐ Real-Life Example โ The Diwali of Change
Rohit from Lucknow faced frequent power cuts during last yearโs Diwali celebrations. His old inverter couldnโt handle the load of decorative lights and appliances.
This year, he decided to upgrade. With GST reduced to 18%, he bought a Solance Heavy-Duty Inverter Battery and added a small solar setup. The difference?
He saved nearly โน1,500 on tax alone.
His new Solance system runs for longer hours, charges faster, and cuts down monthly bills.
Rohitโs Diwali 2025 isnโt just bright โ itโs worry-free, cost-effective, and sustainable.
๐ฌ Experts Welcome the Change
Industry experts and the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) have praised GST 2.0 for being a โmajor step toward Indiaโs clean energy mission.โ
With affordable tax rates and simpler classification, battery adoption is expected to rise sharply across sectors โ from households to EV manufacturers.
And with Solance Batteries scaling its production and solar-compatible products, Indian consumers can look forward to advanced, high-performance energy storage made right here at home.
๐ช Energy, Light, and Balance โ The True Spirit of Diwali
Diwali celebrates lightโs triumph over darkness โ and in todayโs world, energy is that light. Batteries store that light for us, ready to keep life going when power fails.
The new GST brings the same balance โ fairness in pricing, access for everyone, and a boost for clean energy.
