Based on the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s economic package announcement, Nagesh Basavanhalli, MD & CEO, Greaves Cotton Limited, said: “After Prime Minister’s bold economic revival package to make Atmanirbhar Bharat, Finance Minister’s host of positive announcements to revive the MSMEs, NBFCs & MFIs sectors is a welcome step. Being the backbone of our economy, providing significant economic relief to the MSMEs and NBFCs will boost the market confidence in the current uncertain and unprecedented time and help in the revival of these job-generating sectors. We work with a large number of MSME players across the country who will hopefully benefit from this announcement.”
