Beyond Market - July, 2024

En este asunto

On 23rd July, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2024-2025, her seventh under the Narendra Modi government. This budget aimed to address the needs of all segments of the society.

With a focus on fiscal consolidation, it outlined nine key areas: productivity and resilience in agriculture, employment and skilling, inclusive human resource development and social justice, manufacturing and services, urban development, energy security, infrastructure, innovation, research and development, and next generation reforms. The commitments made by Sitharaman’s government in the Interim Budget towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ were a focal point too.
The cover story of Beyond Market’s latest issue rounds up key details of the budget for you to review.

Beyond the budget, this issue explores the economic optimism driving investment opportunities in the stock market, the Indian steel sector’s outlook, the current state of the job market and its potential recovery driven by budget initiatives, the nation’s green hydrogen ambitions, and India’s strategic push into nuclear energy for economic growth and energy security.
