The budget’s horizon is closer: Just as our growth challenge needs it to be

Live Mint  

Ever since India’s government set the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047, Union budgets have been bifocal. This is a sign of the Centre’s confidence not just in this agenda, with its mix of short- and long-horizon gains, but also in its capacity to make full use of it amid scepticism evoked by missed targets; its revised capex for 2024-25, at ₹10.2 trillion, falls short of its initial ₹11.1 crore target. On the macro front, a fiscal deficit target of 4.4%-of-GDP for 2025-26 meets the Centre’s glide-path promise, with future gaps to go by a plan to keep its debt burden in check. Critics would argue budgets that do not invest enough in basic education and healthcare don’t address the risk of growth slowing prematurely if prosperity retains its upper-end skew, early flashes of which may already be visible. Yet, given the spending trade-offs made for the upward path India has adopted in recent years and the current urgency of a consumption boost, the budget’s focal points reflect an aptly responsive remix.
