Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday hiked capital expenditure by 11% for the next fiscal to sustain a world-beating economic growth rate while trimming the deficit in a reform-oriented interim budget that also gave relief to the common man from disputed small tax demands of up to ₹25,000.
Presenting a vote on account or an interim budget for 2024-25, Sitharaman proposed no changes in income tax rates for individuals and corporates and customs duty.
In less than an hour-long budget speech, she presented the Modi government's achievements in the last 10 years that transformed India from being a 'fragile' economy to the world's fastest-growing major economy.
