The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 13 Nov 2020The good thing about the stimulus package announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday is that the government is open to the idea of a stimulus. But it would have been much better news had immediate impact not been limited.

The ₹6,000 crore equity infusion in the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund’s (NIIF) debt platform is, again, a good idea, for the future. Its immediate impact is slight.
