PHD Chamber suggests seven-pronged strategy to tide over impact of Covid-19 outbreak

18 Mar 2020 Evaluate

In order to tide over impact of Covid-19 outbreak on the industry, PHD Chamber President D K Aggarwal has suggested a seven-pronged strategy, including reducing repo rate to enhance liquidity in the market and increasing working capital limits of business enterprises by 25 percent. He noted that reduced cost of capital will enhance the competitiveness of exporters in the international market and help exporters to grab the opportunity of slowing China's global exports with increased markets share of India.

Aggarwal also suggested to reduce excise duties and VAT on petroleum, diesel and allied products by at least 25 percent, to bring down the prices of petroleum products, which will be a big relief to the industry, will boost and kick start economic growth, while reviving the spirit in the economy. He also felt that the government needs to enhance consumption expenditure in the economy as increased domestic demand would help the manufacturing sector to grow and maintain the capacity utilisation.

PHD Chamber President further stressed that the allocation of Rs 102 lakh crore under National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) projects for the next five years needs to be implemented for the coming financial year, as increased spending in infrastructure would give a multiplier effect and rejuvenate the aggregate demand in the economy. He said this would mitigate the impact of coronavirus on the country's growth trajectory. He added that to benefit from China's decreased manufacturing production due to coronavirus outbreak, the government needs to build up a well-integrated and competitive supply chain logistics.
