India Inc on Monday hailed Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Budget for 2021-22 as a reformist one that reimagines India’s self-reliance like never before and will drive revival of the economy from the impact of the pandemic with enhanced spending.
The focus on growth over fiscal consolidation, healthcare spending and steps to further help the startup ecosystem came in for praise from industry leaders across different sectors.
“Coming in the backdrop of a global pandemic of the century, it boldly spells the government’s growth agenda and a march towards building a new and prosperous India. The budget clearly has the stamp of our Prime Minister with a clarion call for ‘SabkaSaathSabkaVikas’ and ‘Vocal for Local’,” Founder and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises Sunil Bharti Mittal said.
