💨 Abstract

The 2025 Budget received widespread praise from industrialists and celebrities, but a group of corporate, academic, and political leaders, including the author and a BJP spokesperson, had previously discussed what the Budget needed to address: weak consumption, low demand, and struggling MSMEs. The panel agreed that high tariffs were hurting Indian firms' competitiveness and that the Budget should focus on lowering these tariffs to boost exports.
