Union Budget 2010 Impact on energy sector
The Finance Minister in his Union budget 2010 speech extended the interest funding of 2% for another fiscal year for exports sector encompassing handicrafts, carpets, handlooms and SMEs.

Union Budget 2010 reactions from exporters
If on one hand Union Budget 2010 offered a sign of relief to exporters, it also left them dissatisfied on the other. While the extension of concessional export investment system to another one year was hailed by selective exporters, they also felt that more initiative could have been implemented to enhance the sector.
Exporters believe that the segregation of textiles, marine, gems and jewellery and leather from the comprehensive plan add to the anguishes of these industries while some are still indicating a steady decline or low CAGR.
The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) said that the finance minister neglected the exporters' petition for exclusion of service tax, inspite of asserting compensations. They believe that the refund method being so unwieldy has hardly proved beneficial to the exporters.
Few exporters expressed their discontent with the Budget for not taking the chief issues of Section 10B (A) relief for tax exemption into consideration for handicraft exporters. The total impact of the Union Budget 2010 on export sector is not favorable for labor-intensive industries like handicrafts.
