Budget 2025: PM Modi Hints at Major Relief for Middle Class in This Year's Budget | ABP NEWS
The Indian Union Budget for 2025, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has drawn significant attention, with expectations centered on relief for the middle class, women, and the economically disadvantaged. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hinted at key measures for these groups ahead of the budget announcement. Sitharaman arrived at Parliament with the budget copies after presenting them to the President, as per customary practice. The copies were sealed and brought to the Parliament for formal discussion. A Cabinet meeting will precede the budget’s presentation in the Lok Sabha. The Finance Minister’s focus on the middle class and poor aligns with broader economic objectives. Experts suggest that for India to become a developed nation by 2047, the country needs sustained GDP growth of around 8% annually over the next two decades. The budget's ability to meet such growth expectations remains crucial to India's economic future.
