Shares of Brainbees Solutions Ltd., the parent company of baby products retailer FirstCry, rallied sharply, after the GST Council announced tax cuts on a wide range of essentials. The stock rose up over 15% in intraday trade, reaching a high of ₹407.80.

The rally came after the GST Council, in its meeting on Thursday, approved a uniform 5% GST on everyday items such as milk products, talcum powder, shampoo, and toothpaste. Earlier, these products were taxed in the 12–18% bracket. The Council also reduced GST on apparel priced up to ₹2,500 to 5% from 12%, further boosting sentiment for companies in the baby and personal care categories.

Brainbees Solutions, which runs FirstCry.com and retails multiple in-house brands such as Pine Kids, offers a vast catalogue of products for mothers, babies, and kids, ranging from apparel and footwear to toys and personal care. The company benefits directly from lower GST on key categories that account for a large share of its sales.
