Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is a great orator. A very successful
lawyer that he is, it probably comes naturally to him. While speaking,
if he wants to emphasise on something, he repeats the word(s),
again and again and again. After repeating the word ‘infrastructure’
33 times while presenting the interim budget in July last year, he
repeated his government’s favourite catchphrase ‘Make in India’ 10
times while presenting the budget this year. That he doesn’t just
pay lip service to these words/phrases can be seen in the fact that
in this year’s budget, while he made a permanent annual allocation
of Rs.40,000 crore to road and other infrastructure development by
tweaking excise duty rates on petrol and diesel, he made several
reductions and a few increases in the duty rates of several items
that are key to ‘Make in India’. What are these items? And more
importantly, are these measures enough? Here’s presenting to you
a detailed The Dollar Business analysis
