With an aim to rescue the Indian economy reeling under the impact of coronavirus, Prime Minister (PM) has announced a stimulus package totalling Rs 20 lakh crore. This amounts to nearly 10 percent of India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). PM said that economic package is for all classes of society, for all Indians and industry. The Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus includes packages already announced by the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced a Rs 1.7 lakh crore package while RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had announced liquidity support in two tranches in March and April amounting to over Rs 5 lakh crore.
He said this economic package will focus on areas like land, labour, liquidity and law. It will cater to various sections, including cottage industry, MSMEs, labourers, middle class, and industries. The Prime Minister did not share details saying Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will over the next few days spell out details for each sector. With an emphasis on using the local products, PM said that every Indian should become vocal for local products, and Indians should not only buy the domestic products but also show them with pride.
Further, he said the self-reliant Indian economy will stand on five pillars, namely, economy, infrastructure, system, demography, and demand. He said that a quantum jump in economy is needed, instead of incremental growth. He also said ‘the crisis has made the nation realise the importance of these people in the local supply chain. Time has taught us that we have to realise the importance of local traders, craftsmen, and brands.’ He noted that only when the people of a country realise and promote local products will they get accepted as global brands.
