Delhi High Court challenges 18% GST on air purifiers during pollution crisis, urging temporary relief.
The Delhi High Court on December 24, 2025, questioned the central government’s refusal to temporarily exempt air purifiers from an 18% GST amid a severe air pollution crisis, calling the tax unreasonable during a public health emergency.
The court, hearing a public interest litigation, urged authorities to consider reducing the tax, possibly for one week or month, emphasizing that clean indoor air is essential for health, especially with Delhi’s AQI frequently in the 'very poor' range.
The petition argues air purifiers should be reclassified as medical devices to qualify for a 5% tax rate, making them more accessible, particularly for vulnerable populations.
The court directed the government to respond by 2:30 pm with instructions on the matter.
