Tata Steel today said Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's proposal to reduce corporate tax to 25 per cent in the next few years is a welcome step as the budget seeks to provide an environment that attracts investment in industry and propels economic growth.
The proposal to do away with various types of foreign investment caps and replace them with a composite cap is also welcome, Tata Steel said in a press statement.
A quick implementation of market and policy reforms proposed in the budget will help in achieving a GDP growth of 8.5-9 per cent Y-O-Y, it said.
