This full budget builds on the plans announced by Ms. Sitharaman in the interim budget released in February.

“People have given our government a unique opportunity to lead the country to prosperity. “This Budget envisions sustained efforts on the following nine priorities to create ample opportunities for all,” Ms. Sitharaman stated. She added that this year’s budget will prioritize the aspirations of all citizens, regardless of religion, caste, gender, or age.

  • There are nine budget priorities.
  • Agricultural productivity, resilience
  • Employment, and skill development.
  • Inclusive Human Development
  • Energy Security
  • Manufacturing & Services
  • Innovation, Research, and Development
  • Infrastructure
  • Next Generation Reforms

Talking about the Indian economy’s rise, she said, “India’s economic growth continues to shine while the global economy is still in the grip of policy uncertainty, The country’s inflation continues to be stable and is moving towards 4 percent, and core inflation stands at 3.1percent”. The Economic Survey 2024-25, which was tabled in Parliament on Monday, estimated India’s pre-COVID growth rate to be 7 percent or higher in the medium term.
