Rajdeep Sardesai Analyses PM Modi’s Budget Speech: Markets Spooked by STT and Buyback Tax Changes

0 February 1, 2026 06:24

On this Special Report, Rajdeep Sardesai leads a comprehensive analysis of the Union Budget 2026, focusing on its impact on the Indian economy and financial markets. Sardesai notes that the markets were ‘completely spooked presumably by this higher security transaction tax’ and changes to buyback taxation, leading to an initial 800-point drop. The programme features insights from Abha Bakaya on market volatility and economist Vivek Singh, who describes the budget as a ‘fairly balanced and forward looking’ document that stays true to the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision. Srivar Kheruka of Borosil also discusses the 20,000 crore boost for electronics and the goal for manufacturing to reach 25% of GDP by 2047. The discussion explores whether the budget’s sectoral approach to employment and tourism will provide the necessary impetus for growth while maintaining fiscal discipline.
