India's healthcare sector is likely to garner maximum attention of the government in the Budget 2021 to be tabled on Monday, as it comes in the face of the country braving a global pandemic, says a survey.
The Assocham-Primus Partners survey covered more than 550 industry participants, 39.7 per cent of whom said healthcare would receive the highest priority in terms of resource allocation and policy support in the Budget.
Manufacturing emerged as the second key sector expected to be in focus, with 14.7 per cent respondents expecting it to receive the Finance Minister's attention, followed by MSMEs (11.4 per cent), real estate (10.7 per cent) and infrastructure (9.6 per cent).
