New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Tuesday presented the Budget for 2024-25, her 7th straight presentation surpassing the record of former prime minister Morarji Desai.
This is the first Budget during Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government’s third term in office.
People of India have reinforced their faith in the government led by Modi and re-elected it for the third term, she said, while presenting the Budget in Lok Sabha.
Sitharaman added that India’s economic growth continues to shine while the global economy is still in the grip of policy uncertainty.
The country’s inflation continues to be stable and is moving towards 4 per cent, and core inflation stands at 3.1 per cent.
