Amid the ongoing global headwinds triggered by external factors like post-pandemic spillovers, supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and possible recessionary pressures facing developed economies, the Indian economy has stood resilient and is well on its way to register growth rate of seven percent in the ongoing fiscal. 

To further support India’s target of becoming a US$5 trillion economy, India Inc. has high hopes for the Budget 2023–24, particularly in regard to its promotion of tax reforms that promote ease of doing business and its continuation of CAPEX with an emphasis on infrastructure. 

Industry observers anticipate that the forthcoming budget will accelerate India's economic growth by bolstering supply-side capabilities and addressing demand imbalances. Inflation has been a sticky issue affecting consumption, and the upcoming budget might see a reduction in some taxes, both direct and indirect to boost consumption patterns.
