PM Modi meets economists ahead of Budget 2026-27

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is having a meeting with top economists and experts to talk about the country's budget for the next year, 2026-27.

This meeting is happening because the government wants to get advice from these smart people before making big decisions about money.

The finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, will present this budget on February 1, 2026.

There are some worries about things happening in the world and a big tax that the US is putting on things from India.

So, the government wants to make sure they have good ideas to handle these problems.

Besides the economists, some important people from a group called NITI Aayog will also be in the meeting.

A business group called CII has also suggested some ideas for the budget, like keeping the country's debt and spending under control.
