April-August fiscal gap rises to ₹5.98 tn

The latest data appears to reflect front-loaded capital expenditure in early FY26, particularly a resurgence in spending.

(BLOOMBERG)

The Union government reported a fiscal deficit of ₹5.98 trillion for April-August, amounting to 38.1% of the target for the entire 2025-26 fiscal year (FY), according to data released by the Controller General of Accounts on Tuesday.

For the same period last year, the fiscal deficit was ₹4.35 trillion.

The government has maintained a strong commitment to fiscal consolidation, with the deficit for FY26 projected at ₹15.69 trillion, lower than the ₹16.85 trillion reported in FY25, and pegged at 4.4% of gross domestic product (GDP).

Trump tariffs: What the echoes of Smoot-Hawley tell us

India's bilateral trade with the US reached $132 billion in 2024-25. In just five months of 2025-26, India notched up about half of last year's number. That momentum now faces disruption: Washington currently has a 50% extra tariff on imports of Indian goods after the rate was doubled in late August. The question is not only whether this will benefit the US economy, but also how it will reshape India's trade strategies and the global system.
