What to expect from Union Budget 2026
Business
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to present her ninth Union Budget on February 1.
The Economic Survey estimates real GDP growth of 7.4% for the 2026-27 fiscal year, thanks to strong spending at home and big investments.
Sitharaman likely to focus on infrastructure, housing, green energy
This budget could mean more money in your pocket, with possible hikes in tax deductions and rent exemptions.
There's also a huge push for better infrastructure, affordable housing (PMAY), greener energy, and support for startups and small businesses.
Plus, a new India-EU trade deal might open up fresh opportunities for exports and jobs—part of the bigger goal to make India a developed nation by 2047.
