The Budget intends to expand on the basis established in the preceding Budget. We envisage a thriving, inclusive India in which the benefits of progress are shared by all. In these times of global problems, such as the conflict in Ukraine, India's G20 presidency provides a rare chance to expand India's position in the global economic system.
