Miners' body FIMI on Wednesday hailed the Rs 20 lakh crore special economic package, expressing hope that the stimulus will also be used to give relief to "highy taxed and struggling" mining sector.
"We are grateful to the Prime Minister for announcing the financial stimulus of Rs 20 lakh crore to make India self-reliant and boost MSMEs...," apex mineral body Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) said in a statement.
The industry body added that it hoped the package "will also be used to boost the highly taxed and struggling mining sector, which is critical for raw material supply to Indian manufacturing units, power, infrastructure sectors, etc."
