Subramaniam on Thursday said the COVID-19 pandemic has severely dented the demand for non-essential goods, creating deflationary conditions. He also said that a good part of the Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package is designed in a manner that the fiscal deficit remains under control.

“The proposed stimulus package will generate demand by infusing liquidity into the system and thus perk up the economy", the CEA said.

"RBI is also taking some strategic actions to control the impact of COVID-19 situation", CEA father added.
