On which sectors can expect relief from this package, Singhvi said, "PM may announce the volume of the stimulus package and the ways through which it will be given. The ways can be tax sops, relief in interest payment, etc. However, industry specific stimulus package would come to the fore only from the Finance Ministry. So, once the PM announces the stimulus package, all eyes will get glued to the Ministry of Finance as they will be the implementing authority for this stimulus package that PM Modi is going to announce today."
