Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet eminent economists and sectoral experts on Tuesday to seek their views on the upcoming Budget, a senior government official said.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is likely to present the Union Budget for 2026-27 on Feb. 1.
She will present the Budget against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties and a steep 50 per cent US tariff on shipments from India.
