In a strong endorsement, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Sindhia declared the forthcoming 2026-27 Union Budget a pivotal document that echoes public expectations and paves the way for a developed India. During his visit to Ashoknagar in Madhya Pradesh, the senior BJP leader addressed journalists, framing the budget as an actionable plan to translate Viksit Bharat from vision to reality.
‘This is more than numbers; it’s a roadmap guided by PM Modi’s foresight,’ Sindhia stated. The budget prioritizes economic resilience, world-class infrastructure, and cutting-edge tech innovations, setting India on course for third-largest economy status by 2027.
Reflecting on progress, he pointed to GDP growth from $2 trillion to $4.3 trillion in ten years. Ultra-low inflation of 1.7% from April to December 2025 demonstrates prudent fiscal management. Fiscal deficit control at 4.4%, targeting 4.3% soon, reflects disciplined governance.
A standout feature is the infrastructure leap—from Rs 2 lakh crore to Rs 12 lakh crore annually. Northeast gets a 50% budget hike to Rs 6,800 crore, with telecom boosted by Rs 72,000 crore. Major announcements cover textiles, farming, services, education, plus emerging fields like AI, tourism, and digital content.
Presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman, the Rs 53.5 lakh crore outlay includes manufacturing incentives, data center tax breaks, and sector-specific boosts. As global risks loom, this budget emerges as a long-term strategy for inclusive growth, with Sindhia optimistic about its grassroots impact.
