₹6,750 crore of MEA's ₹20,516 cr budget for FY26 is meant for giving foreign aid to further India's bilateral relations
NEW DELHI: India's allocation of ₹120 crore in aid to Bangladesh has remained unchanged for FY24 and FY25 due to political and security related disturbances, the ministry of external affairs (MEA) told a parliamentary panel on Monday.
The ministry also does not expect to start new people-oriented projects in Bangladesh in FY26 amid the ongoing political situation, the panel's fifth report on demand for grants revealed.
MEA said that before committing to any new projects, the situation in Bangladesh warrants a "consultative approach".
