Announcements for sector-specific companies on the Budget day have an impact on the stocks of sector-specific companies. Talking about the last 6 full budgets of the Modi government, the stock market was in a loss 4 times on the budget day. The budget was presented on 5 July last year. The Sensex had lost 1% on that day and the Nifty 1.14%. In the last budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced to increase the surcharge on super rich. Foreign investors were also considered within its purview. This had led to a decline in market. However, the government withdrew the surcharge hike a few days later.
