“It’s encouraging to see that despite the global recessionary waves, India's economy is
growing. The Union budget 2023–24 builds upon the foundation established by the previous
budget, with a vision of a prosperous, inclusive India where the fruits of growth reach all
sections. Overall, this budget continued focusing on promoting exports, boosting domestic
manufacturing, enhancing domestic value addition, encouraging green energy and mobility,
streamlining the supply chain, and providing economic support to MSMEs across the
country. Lowered tax rate of 15% to new companies starting manufacturing activities by
March 31, 2024, will act as a catalyst, driving the public-private partnership investment in
infrastructure, including railways and roads. The thrust on manufacturing & infrastructure
will enable the country to achieve the target of achieving a manufacturing potential to
export goods worth $1 trillion by 2030. National Green Hydrogen Mission will facilitate the
transition of the economy to low carbon intensity and reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports,
thus contributing to green growth. According to our commitments at COP26 and COP27 on
climate action, the Union Budget signalled the beginning of the decarbonization of India's
inbound supply chain. The National Data Governance Policy will unleash innovation and
research by start-ups and academia, enabling access to anonymous data. The Unified Skill
India Digital Platform would facilitate demand-based formal skilling, employer linkage
(including MSMEs). Revamped credit guarantee scheme for MSMEs to infuse Rs 9000 crore
into the corpus. The budget has brought about entrepreneur-friendly measures on the
policy and legal fronts to drive operational excellence across sectors. Access to
entrepreneurial initiatives to further bolster the economic and human resource foundation
of the country will drive start-up ecosystem.”
