Trinity of impossible? Budget 2024 achieves fiscal prudence, investment & consumption boost: Nilesh Shah
Nilesh Shah, MD, Kotak AMC, says Budget 2024 is like Suryakumar Yadav’s catch in the last cricket T-20 World Cup. It has achieved the trinity of the impossible – the path of fiscal prudence, support for investment in infrastructure, and generating employment to boost consumption. I hope and pray that eventually, this catch helps us become Viksit Bharat.
The India story is centred around SIPs and mutual funds. There is cash and if the India appeal is centred around SIPs and not tips, one should not worry about it in time to move on. So, whatever changes have come on taxation, should that be ignored?
Nilesh Shah: So, don’t ignore it. You have to take that into account. People who are trading in F&O now will have to bear higher costs and hopefully, they will reduce their trading activity. But from an investor point of view, the fundamentals have improved with fiscal consolidation, with investment focus continuing and hopefully with better employment generation, this growth is likely to be sustained. So, the valuation impact on the market will be far more from the Budget rather than the diluting effect of increased taxation. So, overall, the India growth story continues and instead of tips, do SIPs.
