Budget 2026-27 LIVE Updates: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is preparing to present the Budget for 2026.  Meanwhile, investors and industry stakeholders will be closely watching the sectoral allocations, income tax policy, and measures aimed at boosting export competitiveness and diversifying foreign trade for the fiscal year 2027. The Budget 2026 will be presented on Sunday, February 1st.

Earlier, the common man as well as various industries had put forward their demands to the government on different fronts, including real estate, cryptocurrencies, and income tax. The Economic Survey 2026, released before the budget, has set the stage, projecting India's economic growth rate for FY 2027 to be between 6.8% and 7.2%, with a potential growth of around 7%.

The markets will remain open on Budget day. Both the NSE and BSE will trade during regular hours. This year, market participants do not have many specific expectations from the budget. They are primarily hoping for potential relief on capital gains tax and urging the government not to increase transaction taxes.

Stay tuned for the latest updates on key discussions and expectations.
