The Union Budget strikes a fine balance between providing a safety net to those reeling under the impact of the pandemic, and ensuring macro-economic stability. India has rolled out two budgets, and a slew of mini-budgets, amid an unpredictable pandemic situation that saw countries, including ours, go into lockdown.

As India celebrates 75 years of Independence and prepares to spend the next 25 years in building its stature as a global power to reckon with, this budget will serve as the guiding light on India’s pathway to prosperity and international dominance.

As factories inch back towards full capacity, cars zoom past on city roads, and footfalls return to malls and haats, there is a distinctive air of optimism and self-confidence in India’s economic air.
