ICICI Bank managing director Chanda Kochhar termed the Budget as a "responsible" one which balances the priorities, and also "holistic". "It's a very responsible balancing act which focuses on fiscal discipline on one hand and on the other, really looks taking into account all the social needs, infrastructure needs, growth and development needs of the economy," she said. She also welcomed the broader way of looking at the rural economy beyond the farm sector to include aspects like fisheries, agri-processing and rural infrastructure.
