The most consequential decision is also the quietest. The Centre has accepted the Commission’s recommendation to retain 41% vertical devolution to states. In an era where political economy is increasingly centralised in rhetoric if not always in law, this is a signal worth underlining. It anchors federal trust even as the Centre tightens its own fiscal belt. The Budget’s fiscal deficit for 2026–27 is pegged at 4.3% of GDP, with a clear glide path towards a 50±1% debt-to-GDP ratio by 2030. This is not austerity. It is choreography.
