Sitharaman’s package doled out basic necessities to the “poorest of the poor”, and no aid to the industry. Aviation, hospitality and other sectors have been seeking it after India sealed its borders. When reporters asked about more possible stimulus, she evaded it saying that this stimulus was about aiding people.
However, market experts believe that another stimulus is in the offing. "This is a package for lockdown impacted segments. Industry-specific measures are likely to be announced in the next package,” V Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist of Geojit Financial Services told PTI.
Stock market experts also believe that the endless losing streak seen in the markets for the last few weeks, might finally end. “From tomorrow everything will be normal. I am positive on stocks like IT and banks. I am extremely cautious about stocks like Yes Bank and Jubilant Foods,” top market expert SP Tulsian told CNBCTV18.
