Post Budget Reaction comment from Insecticides India Ltd.

Mr. Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director, Insecticides India Ltd said ,”The Finance Minister has rightfully recognized the stress on agriculture incomes and put emphasis on investing in rural infrastructure. The allocation of Rs. 5,300 crore towards micro-irrigation, watershed development initiatives is a particularly welcome measure.

We all know that a bulk of our population is dependent on the farm sector and the farm sector in turn is heavily dependent on the monsoon. A rainfall deficit always affects the farm sector and the agro chemical industry. This dependence on monsoon should reduce and we need a thrust on building micro-irrigation facilities which is there in the budget.


Another positive scheme that the government has announced is the soil health card scheme that aims to improve soil fertility. We are optimistic about this scheme and believe it will be highly beneficial to farmers. Besides, we also appreciate the budget’s thrust on manufacturing in line with ‘Make in India’.

Post Budget Reaction comment from Koenig Solutions

Mr Rohit Aggarwal, Founder and CEO of Koenig Solutions said, “We genuinely welcome the budget’s emphasis on giving a friendly environment and financial incentives to business start-ups, especially in the IT sector. The FM has proposed Rs 1,000 crore to help IT start-ups, and support funding needs of small firms. The FM rightly recognized the IT sector as one of India’s leading employers in the services sector. The financial proposal will boost entrepreneurship in the IT sector and create more jobs.

This is a manufacturing friendly budget, very much in line with the ‘Make in India’ thrust. From the point of view of the IT industry specifically, the streamlining of the Special Additional Duty will pave way for local manufacturing benefits to some IT products.

Overall, it is a positive growth friendly budget that gives the right direction to the economy by giving incentives to business, infrastructure and manufacturing. The proposal to reduce corporate tax from 30 % to 25 % for the next four years will give a healthy boost to spending, business and employment generation.
