The budget also emphasizes growth enablers such as employment, skilling, startups, MSMEs, infrastructure, and women’s empowerment. These steps aim to create a virtuous cycle of consumption and investment, fostering inclusive growth.

Overall, the Budget 2025-26 presents strategies to support all growth engines, ensuring a robust economic future.
