Growth Momentum Will Continue Says FM Sitharaman As Budget 2026 Bets On Tech Cities And Reforms
inance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s post-Budget remarks offered a deeper look into the thinking behind Union Budget 2026. Stressing that the 21st century economy is driven by technology, the FM said reforms will continue to build an ecosystem that boosts productivity and generates jobs. The Budget places cities at the centre of growth, with special focus on Tier-II and Tier-III hubs, city economic regions and targeted funding through a reform-linked challenge mode. Key thrust areas include semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, rare-earth corridors and digital systems that strengthen the India stack. With controlled borrowings, steady fiscal consolidation and high capital spending, Sitharaman said the government is determined to protect growth momentum even as global trade and supply chains remain uncertain.
