In order to enhance output and exports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the private sector to raise investments and asked businesses to join global supply chains. He did this by citing the rise in government capex that was promised in the Union Budget.

“Today, I would call upon the private sector to increase their investments just like the government so that the country gets maximum benefit from it,” Modi said at a post Budget webinar. He highlighted how the government earmarked over £100 billion towards public spending during the next financial year.

The PM's remarks come despite signs that private sector capex has been slow to start up as inflation; the global economy, the Russian war, and consumer demand have all been negatively impacted. According to the government, there are indications that private sector investment is increasing its production capacity, at least in a few industries.

He claimed that after being on the verge of collapse eight to ten years ago, the banking sector is now strong. The PM urged the banking system to reach out to as many sectors as possible, saying that it was urgent for the advantages of India's banking system's strength to help as many people as possible.
