The India Budget 2023 is being presented while the world’s major advanced economies struggle with a slowdown and may potentially be headed for a recession. In light of this, the Economic Survey continues to forecast that India’s GDP will rise by 6u20136.8%, preserving its position as the world’s fastest-growing economy. The Survey’s conclusion that India has fully recovered from the shock of the Covid-19 outbreak is encouraging news for expectations for GDP growth. For the first time ever, Indian Railways has received a capital outlay of Rs. 2.40 lakh crore. According to Sitharaman, this is the railways’ greatest capital expenditure.
Capital expenditures would significantly increase, according to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The amount allocated for capital expenditures has increased by 33% to Rs 10 lakh crore in the Union Budget. This equates to 3.3% of the GDP. The FM also disclosed a significant expansion of the PM Awaas Yojana. Sithraman mentioned the continuance of the food security programme for another year in her statement on the budget. She also announced actions for agri startups, fisheries, and launched a programme for primitive, vulnerable tribal groups.
The essential issue for Sitharaman is to not only maintain the budget deficit aim of 6.4% but also to present a solid plan for reducing it in the upcoming years so that it approaches the FRBM target.
