Amidst a tepid global growth projection of 3.3% by the IMF, India\u2019s GDP is expected to stabilize at 6.7% over the next two years, per the World Bank. Yet, challenges loom large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s new presidency has ushered in a slew of changes. There must be a weight of expectations on India to do something interesting, especially because PM Modi did promise emphatic changes in the run up to the elections. After a not so emphatic win, that expectation has been largely left unmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s trade deficit, an alarming $21.94 billion in December 2024, highlights vulnerabilities in competitiveness. The upcoming budget could shift the tide, with anticipated direct tax cuts to fuel consumer spending and incentives to bolster local manufacturing. Renewable energy is likely to take center stage, building on the success of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which has already seen 1.28 crore registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s Budget is no longer about fiscal planning and excise duty announcements. It\u2019s about defining a legacy. If executed with vision, it could propel India toward unparalleled growth. The question remains: will India rise to the occasion and set a course for long-term prosperity?<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- mw-cta-block -->\n\n<div class=\"mw-cta-block\" style=\"background:#EEF3FC;border-left:5px solid #1C52A0;padding:22px 26px 20px;margin:36px 0 24px;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;color:#276FC4;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;\">Maxiom Wealth \u2014 Free Tool<\/p>\n  <h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:19px;font-weight:700;color:#113E81;line-height:1.3;\">Are FD Returns Beating Inflation After Tax?<\/h3>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.65;\">A 7% FD rate drops to ~4.9% after 30% tax for high earners \u2014 barely above inflation.
