The central government will present the Union Budget for the 2026–27 financial year in Parliament on Sunday. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table the budget at 11 am. The presentation marks a key moment for the NDA government’s economic agenda.
Although February 1 falls on a Sunday this year, the government chose to stick to the same date. The decision reflects continuity in fiscal planning.
February 1 Budget Tradition Continues
Since coming to power, the NDA government has presented the Union Budget on February 1 each year. This schedule helps ministries start spending from the beginning of the financial year.
Officials say the fixed date supports smoother financial planning. It also avoids delays in policy implementation.
Focus on Growth and Spending Priorities
The 2026–27 budget will outline priorities on economic growth and infrastructure. The government will also focus on welfare schemes and fiscal discipline.
Markets and policymakers are watching closely for key announcements. Detailed debates will follow during the budget session of Parliament.
