We all know how much infrastructure India needs, and every rupee spent on infrastructure and capital expenditure has a multiplier impact on our economy,” Gupta said. “A focus on employment and youth employment. Our biggest demographic advantage is our young people, and we need to provide them with skills and jobs over the next few years and decades,” she added. “Capital market stability. A lot of money has come into equity markets via direct stocks and mutual funds into SIPs, and we need to ensure an environment of stable taxation.

A fourth commented, “1) Need more emphasis on Green Hydrogen-like schemes for Production, storage, and transportation of it. 2) Need more enhanced infra for subsidized education 3) (This one is not expected from any govt, but I want to say) Lower tax rate but tax to all. During the earlier period of King ERA, there used to be only consumption-based taxation and not Income-based. I feel that income-based taxation should be abolished, and consumption-based taxation should be increased slightly. That it from my end.”
