CM Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday presented the state budget.
No new taxes were proposed.
Khattar said Haryana’s contribution of about 3.86 per cent in India’s GDP is beyond its size of population.
He proposed a budget of Rs 1,83,950 crore for 2023-24, an increase of 11.6 per cent over the revised estimates of 2022-23 of 1,64,808 crore.
The Budget proposed an expenditure of Rs 57,879 crore on capital asset creation and Rs 1,26,071 crore on revenue expenditure. This is 31.5 per cent and 68.5 per cent, respectively.
He said the government has maintained focus on increasing capital expenditure.
He said the RBI stated that Haryana is one of the 3 states with a positive deviation of actuals as compared to budgetary targets in capital outlays while the average across the country is minus 21.3 per cent.
