Budget with BS: Read the most insightful coverage of Budget 2021

The past year has been a rather difficult one for the economy. With the coronavirus pandemic in our midst, the economy has reeled from an unprecedented crisis — not just in India but across the globe. Like the rest of the world, we in India are all waiting eagerly for more policy actions, among other things, to bring the much-needed green shoots of recovery.

Coming against this backdrop, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s next Union Budget, likely to be presented in early February, will be keenly watched.

Just how deep is the trouble facing our economy? What can be the remedies? What are the tools before the government to deliver us from the throes of a downturn? What will be reasonable, or not, to expect from the finance minister? Through its extensive coverage – news reportage, insightful columns, compelling views and special analyses – Business Standard will try to answer all these and more.
