It is possible that the somewhat cautious increase in capital spending of 11%, in contrast to the revised aim of 28%, will not inspire broad optimism. This is because the provisional budget does not include any growth-oriented objectives. On the other hand, it has triggered the market to get ready for the next rally in anticipation of the final show on the budget for the month of July. The authoritative tone and narrative of the remarks, which reflect a firm grip on economic problems and a determination to enacting forward-looking initiatives, are responsible for this particular outcome. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the market is displaying an increasing level of confidence in the election chances of the current government, which has stimulated expectations of a heightened focus on capital investment in the years to come.
Some statement in the interim budget which is have a stoke to the market are:
Significant reduction in the budget deficit, which was 5.1% in FY25.
The government will implement economic policies in order to encourage and maintain the growth.
Over the next five years, there will be remarkable progress.
Garib, Mahilayen, Yuva, and Annadata are the four priority that are on the list.
By the year 2047, a Viksit Bharat.
The continuation of the pre-election rise is being fueled by this scenario. Despite the fact that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are currently in a sell-off mode, there is a risk of high volatility. However, FII outflows in Asia are increasing, and selling in India is at its highest level. With China being the most affected by a slowing economy and financial hardship such as bankruptcy in real estate, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) had lost a significant amount of their holdings in the year 23. India was able to outperform other countries during that time period because it had a lower degree of selling in comparison to the rest of Asia and high inflows from retail and mutual funds.

This time around, a result for the third quarter that was worse than expected, also for industries such as banking and information technology, is causing FIIs to sell more than their typical volume. There has been a significant amount of time that India has been trading at a premium value. Therefore, a decrease in the rate of earnings growth is causing a slowing in the valuation of the company. An increase from the high teens in FY21-24 to the mid-double digits in FY25-26 is expected to be the final result. When foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are following a risk-off strategy, the stocks that they own in high quantities will be susceptible to price performance due to the presence of selling pressure.
A fall in bond yields has been brought about as a direct result of the interim budget, which has swiftly given a significant beneficial outcome. On January 31st, the yield on the government’s 10-year note dropped by 10 basis points, from 7.15% to 7.05%. This was owing to a higher than projected fall in the budgetary objective, which went from 5.8% in FY24 to 4.5% in FY26. The market interest rate is anticipated to decrease as a result of this, which will have a beneficial impact on equity valuation, corporate profitability, and capital expenditures.

A sharp reduction in the fiscal deficit, on the other hand, would imply a significant reduction in the amount of money that the government spends throughout the fiscal year 25. The government’s ambitious aim, on the other hand, is dependent on a significant improvement in efficiency, with a paltry 3% year-over-year growth in non-capital expenditures and a 14% jump in gross tax income. This is revealed by analysis of budgetary revenue and spending statements. Based on the revised data, the plan is to raise the expenditure on productive capital expenditures by 17% for FY25E and by 28% in FY24, while simultaneously reducing the expenditure on non-productive income. When a performance was carried out successfully. At the same time, it is anticipated that borrowing will be brought under control by keeping it at the same level during the fiscal years 23 and 24, and then making a reduction of -3% in the fiscal year 25.
