Budget 2023 and the FMCG Sector
- The FMCG sector expressed satisfaction with the union budget 2023. The budget announced a capex outlay of Rs 10 lakh crore. This is an increase of 33% and the outlay is expected to strengthen the middle class financially. This will see higher spends on FMCG, which will benefit the entire supply chain of sellers, manufacturers and intermediaries.
- Apart from the Rs 10 trillion capex allocation, the budget also allocates interest-free loans of Rs 1.3 lakh crore for infrastructure development. The budget also aims to boost the manufacturing sector, with a focus on renewable energy, farming and MSME. Banking credit in this segment will continue in a sustained manner.
- Food FMCG will benefit from the capex allocation with impetus on food grains, and investment in decentralised storage for farmers. Improvement in the rural supply-chain efficiency will boost the Indian economy and cascade benefits to the FMCG sector in general.
- The budget specifically highlights India’s aim to become a global giant in millet. FMCGs are likely to increase their millet-based offerings which would increase their product line and consequently consumption.
- Income tax slab and rate changes will allow higher spend and consumption capacity for the country’s middle class. The FMCG segment expects to be one of the key beneficiaries of the higher disposable income through tax changes.
- The government intends to run the Free Food Scheme for one year. The budget also gives special focus to dairy and fishery products. The PM Matsya Sampada Yojana has been allocated Rs 6,000 crores to develop more fisheries. All these initiatives are closely linked with an increase in production and consumption.
