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.
