“We are expecting this budget to increase further, in line with the uptick in consumer acceptance of preventive, traditional medicines in the post-Covid era. The industry would appreciate an even steeper increase in the budget earmarked for research grants in the field of Ayurveda. This will foster innovation through government & industry collaborations, as the millennial consumer looks for proof of clinical efficacy.”
Further continuing to exceed expectations, he added, “As a leading homegrown brand in the sector, we are hopeful that this Union Budget will contribute immensely to India’s Ayurvedic growth story.”
