India’s upcoming Union Budget is expected to broadly stay the course, with the government maintaining its focus on fiscal consolidation, macroeconomic stability and stepped-up investment in high-technology sectors, according to Anit Mukherjee, Senior Fellow at ORF America, who has worked extensively on fiscal and development policy. 

“I’m expecting more of the same because this is the midpoint of this term, of this government,” Mukherjee told IANS in an interview, signalling continuity rather than major policy shifts in the forthcoming budget.
