Maharashtra's Budget Session commences today with significant fiscal developments on the horizon. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced that 15 bills will be introduced during the session, with the state budget presentation scheduled for March 6, 2026. The state has received substantial financial support from the Union Budget, including an additional allocation of 2,000 crore rupees and 98,306 crore through tax devolution. Maharashtra has also secured funding for two high-speed corridors and 23,000 crore under the Railway Budget. The government aims to balance public relief with fiscal discipline while incorporating suggestions from the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Under the VB G Ram G scheme, Maharashtra's manpower allocation has increased from 1,300 lakh to 1,600 lakh man-days, reflecting the state's growing development priorities and central government support.
