Key Takeaways
New Delhi, Feb 27 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized on Friday that this year's Union Budget is a pivotal step towards a 'Viksit Bharat' — fueled by technology, reforms, and finance. He called upon all stakeholders to work collaboratively to ensure that reforms penetrate the grassroots level.
During a post-Budget webinar, PM Modi encouraged stakeholders to transform reforms into tangible outcomes, proposing the establishment of a charter that includes the government, industry leaders, financial institutions, and educational bodies to achieve the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
“The Union Budget for 2026-27 is designed to enhance the ease of doing business, simplify processes, and advocate for technology-driven governance. This is the moment to board the Reform Express with an emphasis on excellence in policy delivery,” stated the Prime Minister during the virtual event.
“We must leverage AI, Blockchain, and data analytics to ensure transparency, expedite processes, and enhance accountability. Additionally, it is crucial to prioritize grievance redressal monitoring,” PM Modi added.
Highlighting a significant rise in government capital expenditure over the past decade, PM Modi remarked that the increased spending sends a clear signal to the private sector.
He noted that eleven years ago, the government’s capital expenditure was merely Rs 2 lakh crore.
“Today, it has surged past Rs 12 lakh crore. Such substantial government investment is a strong message for the private sector. Industry and financial institutions should engage with renewed vigor,” asserted the Prime Minister.
“Our focus on bolstering infrastructure for the past ten years — encompassing highways, railways, ports, digital networks, and power systems — is aimed at creating assets that will boost productivity for decades,” PM Modi emphasized.
“We should pursue reforms in the bond market and mitigate risks to attract sustained foreign investment. Adopting global best practices is essential to enhance market confidence,” PM Modi concluded.
This webinar marks the first in a series of discussions following the Union Budget 2026-27, aimed at refining and implementing the announcements made for FY 2026-27 through valuable feedback from a broad range of participants.
