Govt measures focus on parts of economy needing immediate succour

Reflecting the PM's priorities, the first set of announcements have an overarching "theme" - helping the more effected and vulnerable parts of the Indian "corporate" ecosystem

There is an “Atmnirbharta” about the manner in which the government under PM’s leadership has approached Covid-19 – customised to India and considerate of the need for help to our most under-privileged citizens and sections of society.  A “playbook” was established in dealing with the health pandemic – dealing with the affected patients, then controlling the contagion and finally consolidating as infrastructure was built up.  

The same approach is being taken with the economic stabilisation measures. Wisely, the government has not got distracted by calls for immediate “packages” and sops. Immediate succour was provided through DBT, moratorium and similar measures.
