The Interim Budget is a Fine Balance between Electoral Populism and Fiscal Discipline. The second budget of Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister and first by Ajit Pawar as Finance Minister in this Government, has a clear focus on infrastructure and development. Maharashtra is indeed one of the leading states in terms of industrialization and overall development. Progress of the state is considered as a lead indicator for overall progress in the country. Being the financial capital of the country and having 48 Lok Sabha seats, second highest only to the state of Uttar Pradesh, investors and public at large look at the state budget with great deal of interest.
Announcements are not limited to development of Roads, Bridges, Industrial parks, etc. and Incentives under PSI scheme but the budget reflects the vision of DCM of Maharashtra being 1 trillion $ economy and its road map to achieve it.
