Union Budget 2026 LIVE: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Budget Speech | India Budget 2026
India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presents Union Budget 2026-27 in Lok Sabha in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She outlines the key financial policies for the upcoming financial years and allocates budget for different sections including Railways and infrastructure.
Capex proposed at Rs 12.2 lakh crore for FY 2026-27
She said, “Public capital expenditure has increased manifold from 2 lakh crore in 2014-15 to an all-occupation of 11.2 lakh crore in BE 25-26. In this coming year, that is, financial year 2026-27, I propose to increase it to 12.2 lakh crores to continue the momentum. To strengthen the confidence of private developers regarding risks during infrastructure development, and construction phase, I propose to set up an infrastructure risk guarantee fund to provide prudentially calibrated public credit guarantee to lenders. Over the years, rights have emerged as a successful instrument for asset monetization. I propose to accelerate recycling of significant real estate assets of the CPSEs through the setting up of dedicated rights. To promote environmentally sustainable movement of cargo, I propose two. One, establish new dedicated freight corridors connecting Dangkuni in the east to Surat in the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund: New prudentially calibrated public credit guarantee mechanism to support lenders during infrastructure development.”
