  • The government had announced Rs 1 trillion, 50-year, interest-free capex loans to states in the last Union Budget, the extension for another year was much needed to boost infrastructure spending. However, it is important to nudge states to increase their capital spending.

  • Database Management, National Data Governance Centers and Artificial Intelligence COEs to be promoted. Government takes digital governance to the next level.
  • Data infrastructure is the core of digital transformation of agriculture. The digital public infrastructure for agriculture is a novel initiative which will encourage digitization of the primary sector.
  • Digilocker for entities to securely share documents would provide digital infrastructure which will be helpful in digital lending framework for MSMEs.

  • Revamped Credit guarantee scheme for MSMEs with additional corpus will be a much needed support for troubled MSME in India.
  • 2022-23 fiscal deficit of 6.4%, and 5.9% for 2023-24 would allow for private capital expenditure to grow, without crowding out private investment.
  • Cost of Credit to be reduced by 1% under the revamped credit guarantee for MSME. It is a big positive for the MSMEs, given the rise in lending rates.
  • Impetus on green mobility to lure global and domestic investors will boost India’s goal to achieve its emissions-intensity target of 45% below 2005 levels by 2030.
