The spectrum of issues discussed in our special issue, titled ‘Budget 2025–26’ present varied perspectives on key fiscal challenges.

As our guest editor, Pinaki Chakraborty notes, the Union Budget 2025–26 needs to be seen in the context of rising economic uncertainties, subdued economic growth, increasing indebtedness of the households and a decline in financial savings in the economy.

The deficit and expenditure numbers indicate that the primary focus of this year’s budget is fiscal consolidation, a continuation of the past trend of consolidation that started in 2021–22.
