Macro Economic Overview

  Major Policy Decisions:
  • Tax Exemptions and Tax Slabs have been changed.
  • Excise Duty and Service Taxes have been increased by 2%
  • Funding eased for Infrastructure companies . But budget silent on major policy initiatives to address other
     concerns.
  • Estimated Borrowing are on the optimist side. And looking at recent experiences budgetary estimates are
     likely to be understated.

Macro Economic Overview

Fiscal Deficit Consolidation:
• FM has made an honest attempt to control Fiscal Deficit.
• Marginal increase to Small cuts in major flagship social security programs like MGNREGA.
• But major assumptions in the Budget are still on optimist side. Basic assumption made in this budget are
    Nominal GDP growth rate of 14% and Crude in between US $ 110-115 per barrel.
• Budget Estimate of Fiscal Deficit of 5.1% is lower because of expectation of funds from auction of Spectrum.

Macro Economic Overview

    Fiscal Deficit Consolidation:
    • FM has used revenue buoyancy rather than controlling major expenses to rein in Fiscal Deficit
    • FM has indicated to control subsides at 2% . Price hike in fuels seems extremely likely. But no clear road map
        to remove Fertilizer and Fuel subsidy.
    • Revenue from spectrum sale and disinvestments are achievable but are one time.
    • Transfer of direct benefits using AADHAR, to help check in leakages.

   Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme is a positive step and seem to be designed more in line with US 401K
    equity savings program.
   Will channel more money in to capital market, will provide depth and has potential to channelize up to Rs.
    50000 Cr. ( from 1-1.5 Cr retail investors) this is as big as FII investment in most years.

Major Sector Impact: Auto

Major Policy decisions:
      Hike in excise duty of 5% (from 22% to 27%) on large cars, but additional duty on diesel cars spared.
      Large cars to be impacted. Will impact all major Car companies as this is fastest growing segment.
      Custom duty hike on cars costing >$40000. But impact will be marginal as India is expected to sign Free Trade
          Agreement (FTA) with EU.
      Increased disposable income to be slightly positive for two wheeler segments
      Interest Rate cuts to be moderate, which will result in higher than expected funding cost on CVs.
