It has been a great day for the corporates and the Indian equity markets. Finance Minister Niramala Sitharaman in her fourth press conference announced a cut in the corporate tax rate for domestic companies and new domestic manufacturing companies along with other fiscal relief measures to revive investments and boost the sagging economy. This decision has helped the benchmark indices BSE Sensex to rise by 2200 points and the NSE Nifty to zoom by more than 620 points.
