Sectoral Impact
- Defence Stocks – The Finance Minister’s announcement of allocating 68% of the defence capital for local sectors resulted in defence stocks ending up 5% higher.
- Sugar Stocks – Unblended fuel will attract an additional charge of Rs. 2 per litre. The market viewed this as a positive step for ethanol fuel blending, which resulted in sugar stocks ending in green.
- Metal Stocks – The customs duty exemption on steel scrap being extended by a year led metal stocks to rally.
Beyond the Budget
Several sectors in the country will benefit from the Union Budget announcements. For instance, the infrastructure industry will help hugely going forward, emphasising infrastructure spending through the PM Gati Shakti Master Plan.
The Rs. 19,500 crore of additional allocation for the manufacturing of solar power under the PLI and clean energy schemes will give a boost to solar manufacturers. Meanwhile, initiatives for the Electronic Vehicle sector such as the battery swapping announcement and green bonds will be beneficial for EV companies and new-age fintech companies.
However, the lack of focus on the rural sector is likely to negatively impact sectors such as the automotive industry, FMCG, and white goods industries. The cryptocurrency market is also likely to see a dip in the long run because of the hefty tax of 30% imposed.
