Budget 2024 Speech Live Telecast: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the Union Budget for the fiscal of 2024-25 on July 23. Sitharaman will begin her budget speech at 11:00 am in Parliament on July 23. Amid several expectations around tax rebate and higher allocation of various sectors, there are reports that the cost of the food subsidies program run by the Centre will go up 11 per cent.
A Reuters report said that this is because the Narendra Modi government is spending more on MSP for farmers. As per the Interim Budget data, fertiliser and food subsidies accounted for around eight per cent of the country’s total spending of Rs 47.66 trillion, the Reuters report said. The presentation of the Union Budget 2024 will be live-streamed and broadcast across multiple digital platforms. Here are the major TV and online channels where you can watch it live:
