Budget Estimates for 2026-27

• Total expenditure (excluding debt repayment) in 2026-27 is targeted at Rs 33,668 crore.  This is an increase of 5% over the revised estimate of 2025-26.  This expenditure is proposed to be met through receipts (excluding borrowings) of Rs 26,916 crore and net borrowings of Rs 6,261 crore.  Total receipts for 2026-27 (other than borrowings) are expected to increase by 9% over the revised estimate of 2025-26.

• The state estimates a revenue surplus of Rs 1,616 crore in 2026-27.  In 2025-26, revenue surplus is estimated to be Rs 2,173 crore, 15% higher than the budget estimate (Rs 1,896 crore). 

• Fiscal deficit for 2026-27 is estimated to be Rs 6,752 crore, lower than the revised estimate for 2025-26 (Rs 7,294 crore).  In 2025-26, fiscal deficit is estimated to be 47% higher than the budget estimate (Rs 4,962 crore).  This is driven by a shortfall anticipated in receipts (6% lower).

Revenue expenditure for 2026-27 is proposed to be Rs 25,266 crore, an increase of 12% over the revised estimate of 2025-26.  This includes the expenditure on salaries, pension, interest, grants, and subsidies. Capital outlay for 2026-27 is proposed to be Rs 8,394 crore, a decrease of 12% from the revised estimate of 2025-26.  Capital outlay indicates the expenditure towards creation of assets. In 2025-26, capital outlay is estimated to be 38% higher than the budget estimate.  Sectors with relatively higher than budgeted capital outlay include: (i) public works (Rs 1,415 crore higher), (i) roads and bridges (Rs 682 crore higher), (ii) urban development (Rs 432 crore higher), and (iii) rural development (Rs 320 crore higher).  In 2026-27, capital outlay on public works is estimated to be Rs 2,191 crore (26% of total capital outlay).

Expenditure incurred without appropriation No money can be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund of the State except under appropriation made by law.  CAG (2025) observed that in 2023-24, expenditure worth Rs 123 crore was incurred under 12 grants without any provision in the original estimates or any supplementary demand.  Provisions were made through re-appropriation without the knowledge of the State Legislature.  The departments which incurred the highest expenditure without budgetary provisions are: (i) Rural Development (Rs 33 crore), (ii) Industries and Commerce (Rs 51 crore), and (iii) Urban Development (Rs 17 crore).  CAG noted that expenditure beyond approved allocations suggests poor budget forecasting and planning.  Further, the presence of spending without budget provision in multiple departments indicates weak financial controls.  It recommended that the state government implement real-time budget tracking and stricter approvals mechanisms.   Source: Report No. 1 of 2025, State Finances Audit Report for the year 2023-24, CAG; PRS.

Committed expenditure: Committed expenditure of a state typically includes expenditure on payment of salaries, pension, and interest.  A larger proportion of the budget allocated for committed expenditure items limits the state’s flexibility to decide on other expenditure priorities, such as capital outlay.  In 2026-27, Tripura is estimated to spend Rs 14,523 crore on committed expenditure, which is 54% of its estimated revenue receipts.  This comprises spending on salaries (33% of revenue receipts), pension (15%), and interest payments (6%).  In 2024-25, as per actual figures, 54% of revenue receipts were spent on committed expenditure items.

Return on investments in PSUs As of March 2024, Tripura had: (i) 16 working government companies, (ii) one non-working government company, (iii) one statutory corporation, (iv) one bank, (v) four joint stock companies, and (vi) 25 co-operative societies.  Between 2019-20 and 2023-24, the state government invested Rs 1,901 crore in these entities.  CAG (2025) noted concerns regarding the sustainability and financial viability of these investments.  During 2023-24, the state government received Rs 7.85 crore as dividend from two joint stock companies for the years 2022-23 and 2023-24, while no dividend was received from any other government company.  CAG observed that the state government’s continued investment in loss-making PSUs with negative net worth represents a significant fiscal risk.  The returns on these investments are far below the state’s borrowing costs.  It recommended the state government review the performance of the companies.  The 16th Finance Commission also recommended that state governments pursue closure of inactive State Public Sector Undertakings.    Source: Report No. 1 of 2025, State Finances Audit Report for the year 2023-24, CAG; 16th Finance Commission Report- Vol I; PRS.
