"The Union Budget 2024-25 has a special significance. It comes at a time when the Indian economy is in top gear, having clocked a stellar 8.2 percent growth for 2023-24. The forthcoming Budget should sustain this growth momentum. Being the first Budget of the new Government, it should set the tone for the Government’s reform agenda for its full term," said Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII.
