Budget Expectations - 3M India

Hi,

 

Please find below a quote from Ajay Nanavati, Managing Director, 3M India regarding the company’s expectations from the Union Budget 2009-10. Photograph attached.

 

“We expect the upcoming Budget from the Manmohan Singh government, to focus on  measures  to  stimulate  demand in the domestic economy and at the same time  ensure  more  purchasing  power  for  the consumers while adding more liquidity  for  India  Inc.  Looking  at  the  current  economic situation, significant  improvement  is  required  in  Tax Structures, like doing away with  Duty  Credits,  Permits  and  C,  F  forms  -  these steps would help accelerate growth. In addition, corporate tax rates also need to be brought down to the global average of 26-27%.

 

During  his  interim  budget  speech  in  February this year, the honorable Finance Minster had highlighted rural development, infrastructure, information technology, education, defence and banking as focus sectors for budgetary allocation.  We  would  like  to  see  substantive  and credible initiatives  being  outlined  to  further  strengthen  these  areas. On the infrastructure  (power,  ports,  cement,  steel,  and  construction)  front specifically, we look forward to initiatives that encourage momentum on the public-private partnerships.”
