The Economic Survey 2025 has proposed a health tax on ultra-processed and packaged foods to address India's growing health concerns. The initiative aims to curb unhealthy eating habits and promote better nutrition nationwide.
Recognizing the impact of this proposal on the FMCG distribution sector, AICPDF National President Sh. Dhairyashil Patil was invited to participate in the discussion. Representing the voice of distributors and retailers, he emphasized the need for a balanced approach that considers both public health and the interests of stakeholders in the supply chain.
