The FMCG sector has high expectations from Union Budget 2025. The biggest demand in these is to take such measures, so that more money can be saved for spending in people’s hands. Economists have also advised the government to increase consumption. Increasing consumption can prevent economy from going to Slodown. In the second quarter of this financial year, GDP growth came down to 5.4 per cent.
Relief in income tax
FMCG companies believe that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will provide relief in income tax on 1 February. Income tax will increase the limit limit. She can announce some more measures to increase demand in rural and urban areas. If the government also announces a big scheme to fulfill the dream of people’s home, then it will increase demand in the economy. The reason for this is that the other sector also benefits from good growth of real estate sector.
Weak demand in urban areas
In the last few months, demand has been seen in demand in rural areas. But the demand in urban areas is dull. The government will have to take special measures to increase demand in urban areas. Some experts say that the government’s focus may also be on increasing employment opportunities. This will give money in the hands of people, so that they will spend more. The reason for the demand to be sluggish in urban areas is believed to be more inflation. Especially due to the rising prices of food, people are facing difficulty.
Hope to increase capital expenditure
If the government increases capital expenditure by 10-15 percent in the union budget, then it will increase economic activities. This will give money in people’s pockets. This will increase the expenses. In the budget last year, the government had set a target of Rs 11.11 lakh crore for capital expenditure. This time the target of capital expenditure can be more than Rs 12 lakh crore. This will have a positive effect on the economy.
