Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2025 Today at 11:00 Am. This budget will focus on railways, defence, infrastructure, and agriculture.
Railways: The Ministry of Railways may receive a 15-18% increase in budget, reaching around Rs 2.9 lakh crore to Rs 3 lakh crore. This follows a smaller 5% increase last year.
Defence: The Ministry of Defence calls 2025 the ‘Year of Reforms,’ focusing on modernisation. The defence budget should see higher capital expenditures, benefiting defence manufacturing companies.
Infrastructure: The Economic Survey 2024-2025 highlights the need for more private sector financing. The budget will likely boost private capital expenditure and promote public-private partnerships in renewable energy and logistics.
Agriculture: Expect measures to boost agricultural productivity and support farmers. The budget will likely include increased funds for rural development and welfare programs.
The goal is to spur economic growth and attract foreign investors by focusing on these key sectors.
