The FY25 interim Budget has come out better than expected even though the heightened expectations on many changes/giveaways have rightfully not been met now. The resolve to continue fiscal consolidation path will be appreciated by global and local investors. Better than street expectations of fiscal deficit for FY24 and FY25 and the consequent lower borrowings target in FY25 has enthused the bond markets. Announcements on Rail infra spend and 11.1% rise in overall capex would be in line with most expectations. All in all, we think the impact of the interim Budget on equity markets will be neutral to mildly positive for the near term and other emerging triggers will drive its trajectory later.
