Greater Impetus To India’s Manufacturing Sector Is Indeed A Welcome Move: Dr. Keshab Panda

Union Budget 2021reactions from  Dr. Keshab Panda, CEO & MD, L&T Technology Services 

 Dr. Keshab Panda, CEO & MD, L&T Technology Services on the union Budget 2021 says, "The move to provide greater impetus to India’s manufacturing sector with outlay of almost Rs 2 trillion over the next five years is indeed a welcome move. We are hopeful, this will pave the way for enhanced adoption of digital engineering capabilities by domestic players, especially in the Industry 4.0 segment, to give them a global edge. With patents and innovations being at the core of our proposition as a pure-play engineering services provider, it was encouraging to know that Innovation and R&D was classified under the six pillars of focus for this year’s union budget. Unlike last year where explicit mention to initiatives such as National Mission on Quantum Computing and Technology were announced, one would have hoped that this year’s budget would have made provision for further focus."
