PM Modi to address first Post Budget webinar on Viksit Bharat on February 27; infrastructure, finance reforms on agenda

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the first Post Budget Webinar on “Technology, Reforms and Finance for Viksit Bharat” on February 27 at around 11:30 am via video conferencing. The webinar is expected to focus on the government’s plans to turn key Union Budget 2026-27 announcements into action, with discussions centred on public capital expenditure, infrastructure building, banking reforms and tax measures aimed at improving ease of living.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the session will bring together stakeholders from industry, financial institutions, regulators and academia. The aim is to gather practical suggestions and feedback from those who will be directly involved in implementing the Budget proposals over the next financial year.

Friday’s event marks the first in a series of Post Budget Webinars planned by the government following the Union Budget 2026-27.

These consultations are usually held after the Budget to discuss implementation challenges and to get feedback from sectors that will be affected by the policy changes. Officials say the discussions help ministries fine-tune their approach before rolling out schemes and reforms.

Participants are expected to include government officials, bankers, industry representatives and market experts.

Banking and financial sector reforms will play a major role in the broader effort to strengthen the country’s financial architecture. The main objective: increase credit flow and improve the efficiency of the system. Participants will discuss real-world regulatory challenges and exchange ideas on closing financing gaps in various sectors.

They will also discuss ways to strengthen financial institutions and improve access to finance.

The webinar will also look at ways to deepen capital markets and improve participation by investors.

Market experts are expected to discuss measures that could make financing easier for businesses through market instruments.

Tax reforms linked to ease of living will also be part of the conversation. The government has indicated that simplifying tax rules and reducing compliance burden remain priorities.

The Post Budget Webinar series is meant to ensure that Budget announcements do not remain on paper and are implemented effectively.
