Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 2, 2026: Presenting the Budget for the financial year 2026–27 in the Haryana Assembly, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini reaffirmed the state’s ambition to transform Haryana into a $1 trillion economy by 2047.
The Chief Minister said that the “Haryana Vision Document–2047” will serve as the strategic roadmap to achieve this long-term target. The document has already been unveiled by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Saini announced a total budget outlay of ₹2,23,658.17 crore for 2026–27, marking a 10.28% increase over the revised estimates of the previous year. He described the exercise as a “people-participatory budget,” stating that thousands of public suggestions were incorporated.
Highlighting gains from the 16th Finance Commission’s recommendations, the Chief Minister said Haryana’s share in central taxes for the period 2026–31 has been fixed at 1.361%, the highest ever for the state. This, he noted, will significantly boost revenue inflows.
Under its environmental agenda, the state government secured World Bank assistance worth ₹2,716 crore for the Haryana Clean Air Project. The initiative aims to substantially reduce PM2.5 and other key pollutants by 2031.
In addition, ₹5,715 crore has been proposed for the Water Secure Haryana project to strengthen water management and conservation efforts across the state.
The government also proposed ₹474 crore for the Haryana AI Mission. The initiative seeks to train one lakh young people in artificial intelligence and introduce AI-based models across various government departments to improve service delivery and governance efficiency.
