<div id="readability-page-1" class="page">On this Special Report, Managing Editor Siddharth Zarabi leads a panel discussion on the expectations and market sentiments surrounding the Union Budget. Analyzing the current economic climate, Zarabi emphasizes the need for stability, stating, 'Don't surprise anyone negatively, continue down the path of fiscal consolidation and solid factual credible numbers.' The discussion covers the 'Goldilocks movement' of the Indian economy, the shift toward the new tax regime, and the limited scope for indirect tax tinkering. The panel, including Chetan Bhutani and Sakshi Batra, explores capital expenditure in infrastructure, the potential for a 10-25% hike in defense allocation following 'Operation Sindoor', and the necessity of triggering 'animal spirits' in private investment. Dr. Baru highlights that while fiscal stabilization is on track, domestic demand and private capital formation remain stagnant. The program provides a comprehensive look at how the finance ministry might balance non-tax revenues with high-priority spending in a shifting global world order.</div>
