Union Budget 2026–27, presented in Parliament on 1 February 2026, comes at a time of heightened global uncertainty and ongoing supply-chain realignments. While reaffirming India’s commitment to fiscal discipline, the Budget sharpens its focus on long-term growth drivers, with emphasis on domestic manufacturing, high-growth services, and infrastructure as part of the vision for a Viksit Bharat. Framed as a Yuva Shakti–driven Budget, it positions productivity, capability building, and resilience as central to India’s development trajectory.
