Chandigarh : A historic moment was witnessed in the Haryana Legislative Assembly today when Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, in his capacity as Finance Minister, presented the Budget for the Financial Year 2026–27. Addressing the House, the Chief Minister made it clear that this Budget is not merely a statement of income and expenditure but a vision document for building a ‘Viksit Haryana’.
He stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, India is rapidly securing its position among the world’s leading economies. Inspired by the same resolve and vision, Haryana too is reaching new heights of development. The Chief Minister announced that a target has been set to make Haryana a one trillion dollar economy by the year 2047, and the Haryana Vision Document–2047 will serve as the guiding roadmap in this direction.
He emphasized that the Budget has been prepared after extensive public consultation. A total of 2,199 suggestions were received through meetings held with various sections across the state, while nearly 12,400 suggestions were received through an AI chatbot. Out of these, approximately 5,000 suggestions have been incorporated into the budget proposals. He stated that this is truly a people’s budget, shaped by the citizens of Haryana.
The Chief Minister informed the House that as per the recommendations of the 16th Finance Commission, Haryana’s share in central taxes has increased to 1.361 percent for the period 2026 to 2031. This represents a historic increase of 24.52 percent compared to the previous period — the highest increase in the country. He described this as strong evidence of the effectiveness of the double-engine government, highlighting that the coordinated policies of the Centre and the State are directly benefiting Haryana.
He further stated that the World Bank has approved ₹2,716 crore for the Haryana Clean Air Project, which will help achieve key pollution control targets by 2031. Additionally, the Water Secure Haryana Project and the Haryana AI Mission have also received international cooperation and support.
Speaking about future-oriented initiatives, the Chief Minister mentioned that following the establishment of the Department of Future, a provision of ₹1,837.65 crore has been made under the foresight head for 21 proposals across four departments in the financial year 2026–27. He emphasized that the government is formulating policies not only for the present but also for future generations.
Highlighting fiscal discipline as a priority, Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini stated that the fiscal deficit for 2026–27 is proposed at 2.65 percent of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). Capital expenditure has been increased to ₹28,205 crore, which constitutes 12.6 percent of the total budget. The effective capital expenditure is estimated at ₹35,216 crore, accounting for 15.7 percent of the total budget. He said this reflects the government’s development-oriented thinking and strong financial management.
The Chief Minister proposed a total budget of ₹2,23,658.17 crore for 2026–27, which is 10.28 percent higher than the revised estimate of ₹2,02,816.66 crore for 2025–26.
He stated that under the guidance of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and with the commitment of the double-engine government, Haryana is scripting a new definition of development. He expressed confidence that this budget will prove to be a milestone in making Haryana self-reliant, prosperous, and empowered for the future
