Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to deliver an important address to the nation today, Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 5 p.m. local time. While the specific topic remains undisclosed, anticipation is high, especially as it precedes a significant economic shift.
This address comes notably just one day before a wide-ranging reduction in Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates on approximately 375 items is set to take effect. The GST Council, a collaborative body of central and state governments, previously announced these tax rate cuts, timed to coincide with September 22, 2025 – the auspicious first day of Navaratri.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi had spoken optimistically about these changes, stating, “GST 2.0 is a double dose of support and growth for the nation. Next generation reforms in GST have been implemented to bolster India’s progress in the 21st century. I had promised a double dhamaka of happiness before this Deepavali and Chhath Puja.”
This evening’s address marks another significant moment, following his previous national address on May 12, 2025, which came after India initiated ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terrorist strongholds in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Latest Update: Officials have confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will indeed address the nation at 5 p.m. today, Sunday, September 21, 2025. The precise agenda for his evening broadcast is still unannounced, fueling public discussion and media speculation.
