BUDGET GIVES A LEG-UP TO MANUFACTURING WITH SUPPORT FOR 7 STRATEGIC SECTORS GOVT CAPEX JUMPS TO ₹12.2 LAKH CRORE
THE BUDGET FOR 2026-27 bears clear evidence of a widening resource gap for the government, even as it remains ambitious in positioning the State as the principal exogenous driver of growth.
In the short to medium term, the government will continue to see itself as the architect of structural reform and an enabler of job creation, but the constraints on public spending are becoming more apparent.
Presenting her ninth consecutive Budget in Parliament on Sunday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman soft-pedalled on fiscal consolidation as tax revenues and buoyancy faltered, yet maintained that her foremost "kartavya" (duty) was to accelerate and sustain economic growth.
The Budget, however, fell short of addressing the imme-
diate concern of persistent capital outflows — a reflection of extraordinary external headwinds and a key factor behind the rupee’s undervaluation.
