New Delhi: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday framed her Budget speech around the concept of ‘Amrit Kal’, or how India will develop over the next 25 years.While we analyse the official budget documents – and therefore the fine print on specific allocation to ministries and programmes – here are the top eight takeaways so far, from the minister’s speech.1. Capex boost: Capital expenditure to be stepped up by 35.4%. The outlay for capital expenditure is to be upped from Rs 4.54 lakh crore earlier to Rs 7.50 lakh crore in 2022-23.This is a welcome step, although it’s unclear yet how this will be spent and through which route.2.
