Rajdeep Sardesai: Markets Slump 1,000 Points Over Sitharaman's STT Hike In Ninth Budget

Описание: On this India Today special report, consulting editor Rajdeep Sardesai leads a panel discussion on Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's ninth budget presentation. Sardesai highlights the immediate negative reaction from the markets, noting that the BSE Sensex plummeted by over 1,000 points during the speech. He observes, 'The markets clearly haven't responded positively to that higher security transaction tax.' The panel, including experts like Dr. Sanjaya Baru and Shankar Sharma, discusses the budget's focus on skilling, innovation, and customs duty rationalisation. While the budget offers incentives for NRIs and sectors like semiconductors and biopharmaceuticals, critics on the panel describe it as a 'fill in the blanks' budget characterized by 'minutiae' and 'tinkering' rather than a clear big-picture vision. The discussion also notes the surprising absence of defense spending mentions and the significant impact of the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) hike on investor confidence, marking a historic intraday slide for the Indian indices.
