Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday welcomed the Union Budget 2026–27, calling it a strong step towards accelerating the state’s development. According to him, the budget will inject fresh energy into infrastructure, agriculture, industry, and employment generation.
While reacting to the budget, the Chief Minister said it reflects the Centre’s commitment to faster economic growth. At the same time, it focuses on strengthening people’s capabilities and aspirations. He noted that the proposals align with the spirit of “Sabka Saath–Sabka Vikas.” As a result, youth, farmers, women, MSMEs, and workers in Haryana are expected to benefit directly.
Notably, the Union Budget was presented on a Sunday for the first time. This, he said, highlights the Centre’s urgency and resolve to push national development. Expressing appreciation, he thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership. Additionally, he praised Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting a people-oriented budget.
Highlighting key figures, CM Saini said the total budget size stands at ₹53.5 lakh crore. Meanwhile, capital expenditure has risen to ₹12.2 lakh crore. This marks an increase of nearly 9 percent over the previous year. Consequently, fast-growing states such as Haryana are expected to gain significantly.
Further, the Chief Minister pointed out that the budget provides an additional tax devolution of ₹1.4 lakh crore to states. The states’ share has been maintained at 41 percent, as recommended by the 16th Finance Commission. Therefore, Haryana will receive stable financial support for education, healthcare, rural development, and infrastructure.
According to CM Saini, enhanced capital spending will accelerate major projects. These include railways, highways, and RRTS corridors like Delhi–Gurugram–Faridabad. Moreover, investments in EV charging infrastructure and Industrial Model Townships will boost growth. He added that IMTs at Kharkhoda and Manesar are likely to create lakhs of jobs.
Emphasis on Skills, Technology, and Agriculture
Turning to innovation, the Chief Minister said the budget places special emphasis on Semiconductor Mission 2.0. As a result, Haryana’s electronics, automobile, and manufacturing sectors will receive a boost. In addition, support for MSMEs, startups, and the biopharma sector will strengthen skill development and innovation.
Meanwhile, agriculture has also received focused attention. CM Saini said measures related to crop diversification, water conservation, and farmer welfare will benefit rural areas. He added that state initiatives such as Mera Pani–Meri Virasat will gain wider national recognition.
Concluding, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said the Union Budget 2026–27 will help establish Haryana as a growth engine. Ultimately, he said, the budget will support the vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047” through faster development, employment generation, and youth empowerment.
