Budget 2026: Union Budget 2026 may be different and special this time in many ways. This budget, to be presented on February 1, 2026 (Sunday), is likely to break the nearly 75-year-old tradition that has been going on since independence. According to government sources, the format of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget speech may be changed this time. This time she can give more emphasis on Part-B instead of Part-A.

According to the tradition till now, Part-A of the budget speech has discussed the country’s economic situation, fiscal deficit, taxes and major policy announcements in detail, while Part-B remained relatively short and limited in scope. But there are signs of change in this tradition in Budget 2026.

Focus on future economy

Sources say that this time Part-B may be given more time and extension. Through this, the government wants to put forward a more systematic and future-focused policy regarding the country’s economy. In this, not only the current situation but also the direction and priorities of the coming years will be clarified.

Emphasis on short term and long term goals

Part-B will focus on both short term and long term goals. This can explain how the government will strike a balance between immediate economic growth, fiscal discipline and social welfare, as well as how the necessary structural reforms will be pursued in the long run. This part can reflect the economic thinking and continuity of India entering the second quarter of the 21st century.

Roadmap for future growth

Moreover, this part of the budget speech can also highlight India’s strengths in the global perspective. It is expected to present a clear roadmap of the country’s current economic potential, strength of various sectors and future development prospects. The government’s focus will be on establishing India as a competitive and strong economy, so that its role in the global supply chain and international markets can be further strengthened.

Global experts will also keep an eye

According to government sources, due to the increasing importance of Part-B, not only the country but also global experts and policy analysts will keep a special eye on this budget. It is believed that this part of the budget speech will clearly lay out the government’s medium and long term economic priorities and the direction of reforms.
