On this India Today special report, Marya Shakil provides live coverage as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman prepares to present her ninth Union Budget. Maria Shakil notes that ‘This budget is therefore not just about numbers, it is about direction,’ highlighting the critical choice between CAPEX-led growth and consumption relief. The bulletin details a historic shift where the Finance Minister will present the budget on a Sunday and place unprecedented emphasis on ‘Part B’ of her speech, focusing on significant custom reforms and deregulation. With the Economic Survey projecting growth between 6.5 to 7 percent, the broadcast explores whether the government will maintain fiscal discipline amidst political pressure from five poll-bound states, including West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. Reporter Karishma Asudani joins from the new Finance Ministry venue at Kartavya Bhavan, suggesting that the 2025-2026 fiscal year will prioritize simplifying import tariffs and strengthening international trade deals to accelerate India’s journey toward the ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ goal despite global uncertainties and a record low rupee.
