Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday presented the Union Budget for 2026–27 in the Lok Sabha during Parliament’s Budget Session. This was her ninth consecutive Budget, underscoring continuity in fiscal strategy and reform priorities. The presentation outlined the government’s macroeconomic outlook, policy intent, and spending roadmap amid global uncertainty and domestic growth ambitions.
Capital expenditure was raised to Rs 12.2 lakh crore for FY27, from Rs 11.2 lakh crore this year, signaling an infrastructure push. The fiscal deficit is projected at 4.3 percent of GDP, easing from 4.4 percent, within levels economists view as prudent for India overall stability.
