Sitharaman goes big on capex, allocates ₹12.2 lakh crore
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman just announced a massive ₹12.2 lakh crore capital spending plan for 2026-27—a record, making up 4.4% of GDP.
That's a solid jump from the Budget Estimate for 2025-26 (₹11.2 lakh crore), showing the government is doubling down on building stuff that matters.
Roads, railways, defense in focus
A huge chunk of this money is going into things we all use or benefit from—like better roads, upgraded railways, and stronger defense.
There's also support for new projects like faster freight corridors and more medical hubs.
The idea? Create jobs, boost the economy, and make life smoother for everyone as India keeps growing.
If you're thinking about where future opportunities might pop up—or just want to see your commute get easier—this budget could shape what's next.
