UP Tables Rs 245 Billion Supplementary Budget for FY26

The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday presented a supplementary budget of Rs 244.97 billion for the financial year 2025–26 during the second day of the five-day winter session of the state legislature. Presenting the budget in the Assembly, State Finance Minister Suresh Khanna said the additional provisions are aimed at sustaining development momentum, strengthening essential sectors and accelerating welfare schemes to address emerging requirements.

Khanna said the original budget for the current fiscal stood at Rs 8,087.36 billion, with the supplementary budget accounting for 3.03 per cent of the total. 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. The government has also set aside Rs 4 billion for cane and sugar mills.

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.
