Chandigarh, March 2 Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday presented the state's budget for the financial year 2026-27, with an allocation of Rs 2.23 lakh crore, an increase of 10.28 per cent from the revised allocation of Rs 2.028 lakh crore in the current fiscal.

Presenting the budget in the state assembly here, Saini, who also holds the finance portfolio, said that 5,000 suggestions were received from various quarters, and these have been incorporated in the budget.

Saini said his government has fulfilled 60 out of 217 promises made in his party's poll manifesto.

Sharing details of the budget proposals, the chief minister announced a capital expenditure of Rs 28,205 crore for 2026-27, which is 12.6 per cent of the total allocation.

He further said that the World Bank has approved financial assistance of Rs 2,716 crore for the 'Haryana Clean Air Project'.

Among the new proposals, the budget proposes setting up a 'Haryana Agri Discom' – a third power distribution company that would provide electricity to all 5,084 agricultural feeders and 7.12 lakh agricultural consumers across the state.

This will ensure a continuous power supply to every farm, he said.

The chief minister also proposed the establishment of the Haryana Green Climate Resilience Fund with a provision of Rs 100 crore.

This is expected to accelerate investments in zero-emission vehicles, renewable energy, energy efficiency, water conservation, urban greening, climate-resilient agriculture, and nature-based solutions in the state.
