Deep Dive with AKB - How Coronavirus may spoil Budget 2020 maths - a podcast by Business Standard

On 24 March, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21-day national lockdown to check the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. With people staying indoors and only essential services being allowed, economic activity in the country has taken a major hit. Worse, this has come at a time when India was already battling with an economic slowdown. When Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had presented her Budget for FY21 on February 1, 2020, the impact of Covid-19 in India was limited. What impact will the coronavirus crisis have on India's Budget? In this episode of DeepDiveWithAKB, Business Standard Editorial Director A K Bhattacharya examines if the numbers assumed in Budget 2020 are still relevant.
