By Gautham Pai 10 Feb 2021 Gautham Pai, chairman and managing director, Manipal Technologies, says the Union Budget 2021-22 works in its aim to revive the economy, but failed to address specific issues plaguing the businesses, especially rising logistics costs.

Budget 2021 was aimed at reviving an economy that plunged into the deepest recorded slump amid the Covid-19 pandemic and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has done exactly that by encouraging spending more and much more. Keeping the taxes at where it is and funding the requirements through additional borrowing is the right thing to do to revive the economy. This could help bring the expected growth in fiscal 2021 when the economy is expected to bounce back with the highest growth rates for a while now.
