The government’s budget expenditure in Budget 2026 is Rs 53.5 lakh crore.

India is leaving no stone unturned to become the new strongman of the global economy. We should take an example of this by looking at the country’s budget. This time, India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced a budget of 583.5 billion dollars i.e. 53.5 lakh crore rupees. The special thing is that this annual budget of the country is more than the GDP of 165 countries of the world. This means that the GDP of 165 countries of the world is also not this much. As much as India spends in a year to run the country. Whereas last year the country’s budget was seen below Rs 50 lakh crore. Let us also tell you what kind of figures have been presented by the government regarding the country’s budget. Also, the GDP of which big countries of the world is less than the annual budget of India?

What is the country’s annual budget?

If we talk about the annual budget of the country, it is Rs 53.5 lakh crore i.e. 583.5 billion dollars. Whereas last year the country’s annual revised budget was less than Rs 50 lakh.
