In a move to bridge policy and practice, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the first post-budget webinar on Friday via video link. Titled ‘Technology, Reforms, and Finance for Viksit Bharat,’ it spotlights the 2026-27 budget’s core pillars amid India’s growth story.
Discussions will cover public investment surges, infra upgrades, banking overhauls, financial oversight, capital market fortification, and reforms simplifying lives through taxes. Bringing together industry titans, bankers, regulators, officials, and thinkers, the event seeks collaborative paths to success.
Part of a broader series, this webinar reflects on past budgets, gathers inputs, and fine-tunes execution using stakeholder wisdom. The Rs 12.2 lakh crore capex outlay headlines efforts to ignite infrastructure revolutions, create jobs, and propel GDP.
New funds for infrastructure risks will speed up mega-projects across transport and power sectors. The budget champions manufacturing in strategic domains and MSME empowerment, all while upholding fiscal health—targeting a 4.3% deficit against last year’s 4.4% achievement.
Finance Minister Sitharaman stressed integrating India globally via exports and investments, balancing aggressive public spending with stability. Her February speech reaffirmed this path, defining fiscal deficit as the gap between revenues and expenditures.
PM Modi’s words could galvanize action, outlining how tech innovations, bold reforms, and smart finance will actualize Viksit Bharat. This isn’t just talk; it’s the ignition for policies that promise enduring economic vitality.
