Post-budget reaction on behalf of Mr. Prabhakar C, Director, Gopalan Group

 “Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s interim budget speech today lays a commendable foundation for the final budget and the year ahead. The focus on agriculture, defense, infrastructure, and education demonstrates a clear commitment to India’s growth and well-being. While the specifics will be eagerly awaited in the main budget, the interim measures outlined paint an encouraging picture. The emphasis on strengthening rural infrastructure and enhancing productivity through schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is a welcome step that bolsters the backbone of our economy. Continued investment in infrastructure development creates employment opportunities and lays the groundwork for sustained economic progress.

Prioritizing the modernization of our armed forces is crucial for national security, and the budgetary allocation towards this objective sends a strong message and the proposed allocation for indigenous defense production aligns with the goal of self-reliance, a crucial aspect of national security. The government’s plan towards investing in education will sow the seeds of empowerment for our youth, further nurturing a future where a skilled generation will build a stronger India. While a holistic analysis awaits the final budget, this interim speech instills optimism for a future focused on development, security, and inclusivity. We eagerly await the final budget for a more comprehensive picture of the government’s vision for India’s future.”
