At present, tax on pickles comes to a total of about 7 per cent, including VAT and Octroi, among others, the company said in a statement.
"If the proposed GST rate is implemented, the industry, unable to bear the burden, will be compelled to increase the prices of pickle in the range of 10-14 per cent," Nilon's Enterprises CEO Rajheev Agrawal said.
The market is so fiercely competitive and price sensitive that the industry operates with a paltry margin, he added.
