FM Nirmala Sitharaman to present Budget 2026 today

Notably, the finance minister is scheduled to present the Union Budget for FY27 in the Lok Sabha at 11:00 AM at Parliament House in New Delhi. Following the budget speech, the budget documents will be tabled in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Market analysts expect the government to strengthen domestic policy reforms to shield the economy from rising uncertainties such as higher US tariffs and geopolitical tensions, while keeping spending in check as tax cuts are set to trim revenues by about ₹1.5 trillion ($16 billion) in the current fiscal year.     READ UNION BUDGET 2026 UPDATES LIVE 
Ahead of the budget, the Economic Survey 2026–27 was tabled in Parliament on January 29. The annual survey projected India’s GDP growth at 6.8–7.2 per cent in FY27, citing macroeconomic stability. It also placed swadeshi at the centre of a broader shift in the government’s strategic approach. The survey upgraded India’s medium-term potential growth rate to 7 per cent from 6.5 per cent estimated in the FY23 Economic Survey, reflecting the cumulative impact of policy reforms over recent years.

MARKET COMMENT:: Ponmudi R, CEO, Enrich Money

Nifty 50 is showing signs of stabilization near its 200-day EMA around the 25,150–25,200 zone, with RSI staying neutral, basically hinting at a sideways market for now. The 25,100 zone is the key cushion; a slip below this could lead to a dip towards 25,000–24,900.

On the upside, 25,450–25,500 is the immediate hurdle, and a clean breakout above this zone can open up room for 25,700–26,000 in the short term. Options data shows higher volatility with range-bound undertone. 
9:37 AM

MARKET COMMENT:: Reliance Securities

Price action is currently situated between a key resistance level at 25,500 and a support level at 25,200, suggesting a uptrend phase. The presence of a 20-day simple moving average line reflects the medium-term trend, which appears to be gradually downward. f Relative Strength Index (RSI) values of 41 indicate neutral momentum. Highest Call OI has shifted higher at the 25,500 strike, while Put OI is positioned at the 25,200 strike for the upcoming weekly expiry.

MARKET COMMENT:: Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities

We are of the view that as long as the market trades above 25,100/81700, a positive sentiment is likely to continue. On the higher side, the market could move up to 25,550/82900. Further upside may also extend, potentially lifting the index up to 25,675-25750/83200-83500.

On the flip side, if the market falls below 25,100/81700, weakness is likely to increase. In such a case, we could see a quick intraday dip down to 25,000-24,900 / 81500-81200. Buy Nifty above 25550. Keep a stop loss below 25450. Or sell Nifty below 25100 and keep a stop loss at 25200.
