LOOKING AHEAD The Indian Budget is set to be presented on February 2022 and all eyes are ears will be on the announcements. The capital market is largely driven by the budget announcements and as a result some volatility can be expected. On the macro side, the Indian Government is very serious about continuing to make India an attractive investment destination. It has launched the Production Linked Incentive Schemes for various sectors and this has resulted in huge interest from the larger multi-national corporations and domestic conglomerates. Even the tax collections (both direct and indirect taxes) have surpassed Government expectations, indicating that India’s growth momentum has remained intact.
