The first tranche of the Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled on Wednesday failed to lift the market sentiment on Thursday.

Analysts said the package had more to do with fixing supply-side issues than catering to demand-side issues. They do not expect the Rs 6 lakh crore announcements to give any boost to the economy in the short term.
