Budget 2025 Expectations Highlights: India considers reintroducing concessional corporate tax rate, exclusive sources reveal

Budget 2025 Expectations Highlights: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget for FY26 on February 1, her eighth Budget so far. The spotlight is on tax simplification, increased capital spending, and steps to boost consumption, as India navigates slowing domestic growth and global uncertainties.

Months of planning have gone into the Budget preparations, with the Finance Ministry wrapping up consultations with stakeholders on January 6. These discussions spanned key areas like agriculture, MSMEs, education, healthcare, infrastructure, energy, and markets, offering valuable inputs to shape policy decisions.

Adding to the buzz, both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain open for trading on February 1, even though it’s a Saturday—a rare move to coincide with the Budget announcements.
