I congratulate the FM for the growth-oriented interim budget which seeks to build on the foundation laid in the previous budgets. The FM has reiterated the commitment to adopt economic policies that sustain growth, improve productivity and create opportunities for all. The budget has identified research and innovation for catalysing growth. There is a clear focus on facilitating greater investments across sectors to continue the growth momentum. The creation of a corpus of Rs. 1 lakh crore for providing long-term financing will boost research and innovation in sunrise sectors and support atmanirbharta in critical sectors.
