Gairsain/ Uttarakhand : Reinforcing the state’s commitment to fiscal discipline while sustaining development momentum, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday presented the Uttarakhand Budget for 2026–27. The state has proposed an outlay of ₹1,11,703.21 crore, marking a 10.41% increase over the previous fiscal year.

The government has emphasized transparent and responsible governance by adhering fully to the provisions of the FRBM Act. The budget reflects a healthy fiscal position, with the state maintaining a revenue surplus of ₹2,536.33 crore—indicating that the government’s revenue exceeds its revenue expenditure. Such a surplus is widely regarded as a sign of strong financial health.

Maintaining fiscal prudence, the state has kept the fiscal deficit within the 3% of GSDP limit, while public debt has been contained within the mandated ceiling of 32.5% of GSDP. These indicators show that Uttarakhand is managing its borrowings judiciously even as it continues to invest in development projects.

With a revenue surplus, controlled borrowing, and a restrained deficit, the government appears to be balancing growth ambitions with long-term economic sustainability. Officials say these measures will provide a stable financial foundation for future infrastructure and welfare initiatives.

Overall, the 2026–27 budget positions Uttarakhand as a state striving to maintain equilibrium between development expenditure and prudent fiscal management—an approach expected to strengthen its economic trajectory in the years ahead.
