The presentation of India's Union Budget 2026-27 by Nirmala Sitharaman is a significant event for financial markets, as it outlines the government's fiscal intent and economic policies. The budget's focus on export growth, influenced by the United States' tariffs, will directly impact trade-related sectors and potentially the Indian rupee.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her ninth consecutive Union Budget for the financial year 2026-27 in the Lok Sabha, following its approval by the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This budget is notable as the first after the Goods and Services Tax (GST) 2.0 reforms and Labour Codes, which consolidated 29 labor laws into four and simplified indirect taxation. The budget is expected to be around Rs 54.1 lakh crore, representing a 7.9 percent year-on-year growth. A key focus of the budget is export growth, driven by the United States' imposition of a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. Prior to the budget presentation, Nirmala Sitharaman also tabled the Economic Survey of India for the 2025-26 financial year. The Budget session will continue until April 2, with a recess from February 13 to March 9.
