The Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has received a positive response from members of India’s investment ecosystem as well as equity markets. 

Several proposals, including those on infrastructure and capital expenditure, have signalled that the Narendra Modi government is keen on driving a growth-led recovery for an economy that was battered by Covid-19.

But how will these proposals affect capital plans for alternative asset managers, foreign portfolio investors, and sovereign wealth and pension funds?
