GST on Induction Furnaces (HSN 8514): Has the Rate Changed in 2025?

Businesses working with induction furnaces—especially those used in gold melting, refining, and industrial heating—often ask whether the GST rate on HSN 8514 has been revised in recent GST Council announcements. Here’s the latest update for September 2025.

GST Council Rationalisation: What Changed and What Didn’t

The 56th GST Council meeting (September 4, 2025) introduced a simplified two-slab GST system of 5% and 18%, effective from September 22, 2025. This restructuring was aimed at reducing complexity across sectors.

However, induction furnaces, including gold melting furnaces, were not listed in the revised categories. That means the GST rate remains the same as before.

Current GST Rate on Induction Furnaces (HSN 8514)

According to the official classification, induction furnaces and industrial electric furnaces fall under HSN Code 8514 (Industrial or laboratory electric furnaces and ovens, including those operating by induction or dielectric loss).

Achieve unmatched casting efficiency with the Delmer Continuous Casting Furnace ‘Vulcano’ Series, designed for durability, precision, and high-volume production.

The applicable GST rate is 18%, broken down as:

• 9% CGST + 9% SGST for intra-state transactions, or
• 18% IGST for inter-state supplies.

This applies to all types of induction furnaces, whether used in metal melting, jewelry manufacturing, or laboratory applications.

Any Recent Changes in GST for Induction Furnaces?

Despite discussions on tax rationalisation, there have been no GST notifications, circulars, or council approvals that lower the GST rate on induction furnaces under HSN 8514.

Even earlier, during the 55th GST Council meeting in December 2024, the GST on gold melting furnaces was not proposed for revision.

GST Rate Summary

Final Answer

The GST on induction furnaces (HSN 8514), including those used for gold melting and industrial processes, remains unchanged at 18%. The latest GST Council meeting did restructure many categories into the two-tier system, but induction furnaces continue to fall under the 18% slab.

For manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers in the furnace and metallurgical equipment industry, this means pricing remains stable with no GST reduction in this segment.
