Following the inclusion of the additional outlay, the overall budget size for the year has increased to Rs 8,332.33 billion. He noted that the supplementary budget prioritises the state’s development agenda, with Rs 183.69 billion allocated for revenue expenditure and Rs 61.28 billion earmarked for capital expenditure, reflecting a balance between meeting immediate revenue needs and reinforcing long-term infrastructure creation.

Key sectoral allocations include Rs 48.74 billion for industrial development, Rs 45.21 billion for the power sector, Rs 35 billion for health and family welfare, and Rs 17.59 billion for urban development. Additional provisions have been made for technical education with Rs 6.40 billion, women and child development with Rs 5.35 billion, the New and Renewable Energy Development Agency with Rs 5 billion, and medical education with Rs 4.23 billion.

Among major infrastructure projects, the Ganga Expressway connecting Meerut and Prayagraj has been allocated Rs 18.35 billion, while Rs 12.46 billion has been earmarked for the Greenfield Expressway link road connecting Jewar International Airport with the Ganga Expressway. Reiterating the Yogi government’s commitment to fiscal discipline under the FRBM Act, Khanna cited Government of India estimates indicating Uttar Pradesh’s Gross State Domestic Product is projected at Rs 31.14 trillion, underscoring the state’s progress towards becoming a revenue surplus economy.
