She mentions that India's Union Budget includes five schemes to boost employment and skill development for 41 million youth over five years, with a central outlay of Rs 2 lakh crore. These schemes aim to increase household's purchasing power, attract new consumers, and support women-specific skilling and market access for self-help groups. India's female labor force participation rate is increasing to 37 per cent and the women-specific interventions will solidify this momentum. The new tax regime allows salaried employees to save up to Rs 17,500, boosting consumption sentiment. The budget also aims to protect India's consumption-led growth by focusing on employment, skilling, and infrastructure development, while ensuring inflation control.

India's fast-growing economy is expected to boost consumption and drive equitable development, with 1.4 billion people, primarily under 30, and a propensity to spend. The budget addresses consumer confidence and promotes sustainable and inclusive development, highlighting India's potential.
