THE UNION BUDGET for the 2025-26 financial year will be presented at
a time when policy decisions could prove critical for an economy that has
witnessed the first signs of a slowdown in FY 2024-25 from the hectic pace
at which the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) had been growing
since the pandemic. Amidst the prevailing global uncertainties, the Union
finance minister’s announcements hold the key to India’s growth trajectory.
In this special issue, we bring together insights, wish lists and expectations
from India Inc. to present a comprehensive view of what industry hopes to
see in the Union Budget. The government’s focus on capital expenditure
(capex) has proved a game-changer, catalysing infrastructure development
and sustaining the momentum of growth. Industry leaders are now
advocating a 15 per cent increase in capex for FY 2026, to incentivise job
creation, for enhanced productivity and sustained economic growth.

MAHAKUMBH 2025
NOTWITHSTANDING the never ending debate about the beginning of the festival - year and founder - and the dates when it is to be held, there's general agreement that it was started by the 8th Century vedic scholar, philosopher, saint and teacher of Advaita Vedanta Adi Shankara Acharya and that the 12 yearly celebration dates are synchronised with every completed revolution of the planet Jupiter (Brahaspati); also that the venue is mostly in the river bank towns of Prayagraj (Allahabad) at the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical invisible Saraswati, Haridwar (Ganga), Nasik (Godavari) and Ujjain (Shipra).
