    India Budget highlights
    The capital spending increase to about $122.3 billion, which would amount to 3.3% of gross domestic product (GDP), will be the biggest such jump after an increase of more than 37% between 2020/21 and 2021/22. Image Credit: GN Graphics

    India Budget highlights
    A lack of jobs for young people, and meagre wages for those who do find work, has been one of the main criticisms of Modi. Sitharaman also said the government was allocating 350 billion rupees for energy transition, as Modi focuses on green hydrogen and other cleaner fuels to meet India's climate goals.

    Mobile phones and television sets manufactured in India will be cheaper due to reductions in Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on imports of their components, but smokers will pay more because the government has raised taxes. With the finance minister raising customs duty, fully imported cars, including electric vehicles, and those assembled in India with imported parts will become more expensive.
