Investors Pin Hope on Budget as Market Loses ₹27L Cr in Jan

Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the Union Budget on February 1.

"This year's budget is crucial as it presents an opportunity to shift the focus from capex to consumption. This shift, if successful, could significantly boost the economy, which has been hampered by a slowdown in GDP growth due to the impact on consumption. The potential benefits of this shift are substantial and could bring about a much-needed change in the market sentiment," said Anand K. Rathi, co-founder of MIRA Money.
