The emerging consensus within India Inc. on the need for a government-led stimulus notwithstanding, the Centre has limited fiscal space given the lower tax collections. The Budget was a missed opportunity in terms of signalling reforms

New Delhi:
India Inc’s clamour for a stimulus to restart the investment cycle points to a near unanimous view within the industry — that government has to do the heavy lifting first before it can expect the private sector to restart investments. But for the Centre to spend its way out of the downturn, 2019-20 is a particularly bad year given the already stretched fiscal situation and revenue numbers that seem to be faltering early into the year.

At least five of the top industry leaders who participated in a meeting called by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on August 8 on reviving growth pitched for a “stimulus package” of varying proportions, besides flagging specific problems relating to NBFC lending and sectors such as steel and automobiles.

At the meeting, the clamour for a “Rs 1 lakh crore stimulus” was led by Assocham president B K Goenka, supported by CII representatives and other members of the delegation, even as JSW Group chairman Sajjan Jindal said that it was conveyed that the government was going to take action “very soon”.

The emerging consensus about the requirement of government stimulus to boost growth, however, will face the hurdle of slowing revenue collections and the limited fiscal space for the government to deviate from its fiscal consolidation roadmap.
