Budget to accelerate growth, generate employment: BSE MD and CEO

Sundararaman Ramamurthy, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) lauded the Union Budget 2025, saying that its focus areas rightly aim at accelerating growth, securing inclusive development, invigorating ease of doing business and employment generation via reforms, uplifting household consumption, and enhancing spending power of India's aspirational middle class.

“While the highlight of the budget remains the increased basic income tax exemption limit to Rs 12 lakh, the honourable Finance Minister's 8th straight Budget follows up from the previous budget in July 2024 with specific focus on garib, yuva, nari, and annadata. Various schemes such as agriculture, EVs, manufacturing, shipbuilding, power, infrastructure, tourism, MSME, and insurance, makes it an overall balanced budget,” says MD and CEO of BSE.
