Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take center stage Friday morning, delivering a virtual address at the inaugural post-budget webinar focused on ‘Technology, Reforms, and Finance for a Developed India.’ This comes hot on the heels of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s ambitious 2026-27 budget presentation.
Stakeholders from across sectors—industry, finance, markets, government, regulators, and academia—will converge to deliberate on public capex, infrastructure push, banking and financial reforms, robust capital markets, and taxpayer-friendly reforms. The goal? Translate budget visions into actionable strategies.
This webinar launches a series drawing lessons from previous budgets and soliciting feedback to ensure effective rollout of announcements. It emphasizes leveraging real-world experiences from diverse participants to optimize outcomes for FY 2026-27.
Sitharaman’s budget earmarks Rs 12.2 lakh crore for capital spending, targeting massive infrastructure leaps in roads, ports, rails, and energy. An Infrastructure Risk Development Fund adds momentum to flagship projects, while incentives aim to supercharge manufacturing in seven key areas and elevate MSMEs.
Maintaining fiscal discipline, the government eyes a fiscal deficit of 4.3% of GDP, down from 4.4% this year. Sitharaman highlighted the delicate balance of sustaining growth momentum with prudent public finances amid global integration efforts to boost exports and FDI.
PM Modi’s participation underscores the administration’s resolve to foster collaborative implementation. Expect insights on navigating reforms, harnessing technology, and financing the path to Viksit Bharat, making this more than a discussion—it’s a roadmap for India’s future prosperity.
