Suman Bery, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog
This budget reflects a balanced and forward-looking approach. It aligns immediate fiscal choices with a longer-term development vision while strengthening India's position in the global economy. Above all, it reflects confidence in India's capacity to sustain high growth, deliver opportunity across regions, and continue its journey towards a more prosperous and inclusive future, guided by the spirit of the budget speech's third kartavya: ‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas.’
