Nirmala Sitharaman will make a record

She was made the first full-time woman finance minister of India in 2019. This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi formed the government for the second consecutive time at the Center. Since then, Sitharaman has presented six consecutive budgets, including an interim in February this year. The full budget for the financial year 2024-25 (April, 2024 to March, 2025) will be her seventh consecutive budget. She will surpass the record of Desai, who presented five consecutive full budgets and one interim budget between 1959 and 1964.

Moody’s Analytics has these expectations from the budget

At the same time, Moody’s Analytics said that capital expenditure may increase in the full budget for the financial year 2024-25 to be presented in Parliament on Tuesday. Moody’s Analytics economist Aditi Raman said on Monday that after losing its absolute majority in the Lok Sabha in June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will try to instill public confidence in the new coalition government.

He said tax rates had been kept unchanged in the interim Budget but any increase in planned government expenditure would require higher taxes, either through direct or indirect taxation, to prevent the deficit from widening.

He said that at present no major change is expected in India’s economic policy. This post-election budget will strengthen the goals set earlier. Earlier, the interim budget emphasized on spending on infrastructure, support to the manufacturing sector and fiscal prudence.

Moody’s Analytics said the budget will have an impact on business and consumer confidence. The budget will maintain or perhaps even increase funding for capital expenditure on infrastructure and production-linked incentive schemes. Raman said the budget is likely to introduce a more standardized approach to taxation, but the broader emphasis will be on continuation of policies.
