"Expectation levels ahead of the Budget are low due to lack of fiscal space," said Deepak Jasani, Head Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
The Economic Survey presented on Thursday said that, Investment, especially private investment, is the "key driver" that drives demand, creates capacity, increases labour productivity, introduces new technology, allows creative destruction, and generates jobs.
