Budget can ignore fiscal largesse that doesn't necessarily impact election outcome, says PwC’s Ranen Banerjee

The government is expected to stick to fiscal prudence in the interim budget, with a 5-10% increase in budget line item allocations. Confidence should be provided that fiscal deficit targets will be met, with reductions in food and fertilizer subsidies. Positive signaling on fiscal spend, including increased allocation for capex, is anticipated. Divestment targets are likely to be modest in the interim budget but significantly enhanced in the full budget. India's macroeconomic situation for FY 2024-25 is projected to have a GDP growth rate of 6.3-6.5%, with risks stemming from geopolitical factors.
