What if we told you this budget isn’t about spending more - but spending smarter?
₹53.5L Cr total expenditure.
₹12.2L Cr capital expenditure.
Fiscal deficit at 4.3%.
But the real signal isn’t the size.
It’s the direction.
Manufacturing in 7 strategic sectors
Establishment of rare earth corridors
“Champion” SMEs push
City Economic Regions
Long-term energy security
This doesn’t look consumption-first.
It looks capacity-first.
CapEx > Freebies
Competitiveness > Short-term applause
The Union Budget 2026–27 seems to be playing the long game.
