Industry body PHD Chamber on Saturday said it looks forward to a growth-oriented budget for FY22 which ensures demand generation.

According to Sanjay Aggarwal, President, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, "Going ahead we look forward to a vibrant growth-oriented budget which ensures a great support to demand creation in the economy with lower interest rates for consumers and businesses."

Besides, Aggarwal said the industry body expects the budget to reduce compliances for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) vis-a-vis ease of doing business at the ground level.

He also cited the need for the budget to lower the tax regime to increase personal disposable income which would be instrumental in rejuvenating the economic growth trajectory in the coming times.
