The GST Council’s new two-slab structure (5% and 18%) will lower prices of essentials such as soaps, toothpaste, and packaged foods, boosting FMCG demand. SEBI-registered firm A&Y Market Research said Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is best positioned to gain due to its strong brands and distribution. It recommended buying at ₹2,580-2,590 with targets of ₹2,850-3,230.
