Second, whether the Budget continue to demonstrate continuity in terms of what it has been doing in the past, in terms of the focus being more on investment-led growth with some support coming from consumption. This is the first Budget from Modi 3.0. Could it appear in a new avatar because normally the first Budget of a new government is about fixing the short term, mending the medium term, and kickstarting the long-term? What could be the playbook for this year's Budget?

This Budget is going to be keenly watched from the medium to long-term perspective and will probably unveil several growth-boosting measures.
