What they are seeking
Will it happen?

State govts to reduce VAT and sales tax on ATF; lower parking, navigation and landing costs
Unclear. Reduction in state taxes up to the state govts. So far no signs of reduction in allied costs. 
Banking, MFs, NBFCs
Ease liquidity; reasonable rates of funding for mutual funds and NBFCs
Some measures in place. No response yet to demand for credit at accessible rates.
Real estate builders
Cheaper and easier credit along with greater govt spend on infrastructure projects
Some talk on relaxing lending norms for housing projects/loans, push for infrastructure likely
Micro, small, medium firms
Govt help for cheaper and better credit facilities, moratorium on loan repayments for one year
More funds for SIDBI to ease credit crunch; high rates and perceived risks remain a deterrent
Textiles, leather, steel, electronics, auto, cement
Corrections in duty structures and incentives to protect domestic units and boost exports
