India economic package
The government will come out with a "stimulus like package" by the end of this month to help the country's corporate sector tide over the impact of the current global financial crisis, Commerce Secretary G K Pillai said Thursday.
Seeking to counter the impact of the global slowdown on India, the Planning Commission on Tuesday said that Centre should continue to provide stimulus to the economy in 2009-10, even while allowing the states to borrow more funds to step up capital expenditure.
In addition to the two stimulus packages announced by the Centre recently, the Government is considering to announce sector specific stimulus packages by another four to six weeks, Union Minister of State for Industries Ashwani Kumar said on Saturday.
The government on Friday said it will stick to its borrowing schedule as drawn up in January for 2008-09, as of now.
The government is mulling few more measures for helping exporters, reeling under the steep slowdown of demand in the major markets of the US and Europe, Minister of State for Industry Ashwani Kumar said on Wednesday.
