The upcoming Union Budget (2016-17) provides an opportunity to put in place levers to strengthen the demand situation in the economy. This is important to impart momentum to the capex cycle and put GDP back on high growth track. Independent Power Producers Association of India (IPPAI) did a workshop for its members to know of their broader viewpoints on some of the most important things they would like to see in the budget, from power sector’s perspective.
