In terms of priorities, the interim budget has continued its focus on raising capital expenditure - the type of expenditure which creates assets (think railways, roads, housing) - at a faster pace compared to revenue expenditure (which is essentially spent on salaries, interest payments, pensions, etc). This strategy has been adopted since the pandemic as the government introduced supply-side reforms to support growth by building economic infrastructure. Since FY21, capex has grown close to 30% on average per annum, compared to 11% growth in revenue expenditure.
