Beauty & Wellness 

The Indian Beauty and Wellness Market, valued at INR 901.07 billion in 2018, could reach INR 2,463.49 billion by 2024, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 18.4% from 2019 to 2024.  The rise of consumerism and consciousness around appearances among the middle-classes drives the growth of this sector.

Healthcare

Although, there is no denying to the fact that each and every sector was drastically affected by the pandemic, but unarguably the medical and healthcare sector was probably put to the toughest test by the Covid19 Outbreak. And hence, it was essential that the 2021 Union Budget gave a major boost to the sector, and this is what this piece aims to address.

Hospitality & Tourism

Hospitality industry was the hardest hit industry owing to the inevitable lockdown put by the government considering the virulent and deadly nature of the Covid-19 virus. According to the Indian Association of Tour Operators, loss of opportunities in the hotel, aviation, and travel sector together may amount to an estimated $85 Bn.

Automotive

For the past three years, with the introduction of GST, new safety norms, insurance regulations, axle and emission norms the automobile sector has faced massive sluggishness. Therefore, it was expected that the automobile would be placed at the centre of economic activities in budget 2021-22.

Entrepreneurship 

The year 2020 has been a demanding year for our country and the World. With the impact of the pandemic, it is now projected to contract at 7.7%. With this changing economy, investors were on the edge for a budget that would raise resources without raising taxes.

Construction

Budget 2021 focuses on growth and investment while keeping the tax regime stable that will invite investment from foreign investors. The impact of the budget on infrastructure and construction is visible on the ground that the budget gives concessions to purchase home and liberalizing the loan conditions.
