Replying to the debate on the government's first supplementary demand for grants for net additional spending of ₹41,455 crore in 2025-26, she said the decline in asset gaps is especially pronounced in urban India, where disparities in ownership of motor vehicles and refrigerators have narrowed dramatically.
