Sansad Tv

As Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman prepares to present the Union Budget 2026 in just a few days, expectations are running high across sectors of the economy. Industry bodies, businesses, and stakeholders are closely watching for measures that could shape growth, boost investment, and generate employment in the next fiscal year. Amid global uncertainties and evolving trade dynamics, including concerns over U.S. tariffs, the Indian economy has demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience—maintaining its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies, with growth forecasts ranging between 7.3 and 7.4 percent by various agencies. The Union Budget 2026–27 is expected to build further on this momentum, strengthen India’s economic resilience, and take the country a step closer to realizing the vision of a Viksit Bharat. In this show, we will discuss what they expect to be the key focus areas of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Budget on the 1st of February (which, by the way, falls on a Sunday and is a rare first in the history of presentation of Union Budgets).
