Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna on Monday presented supplementary demands for grants of ₹24,496.97 crore for the current financial year to meet immediate revenue requirements, while simultaneously boosting capital investment to strengthen the infrastructure sector.
Presenting the demands in the State Assembly, Khanna said the supplementary budget had been brought to ensure continuity of development in the state, provide additional resources to priority sectors and accelerate schemes in line with evolving needs.
He told the House that after deducting the central share of ₹2,197.24 crore to be received for centrally sponsored schemes, the net additional burden on the state’s consolidated fund would be ₹22,299.74 crore.
The additional expenditure would be financed by achieving the set targets of tax and non-tax revenue and by curbing unproductive spending.
He said the state’s original budget for 2025–26 was ₹8,08,736.06 crore, and the supplementary budget amounts to 3.03 per cent of the original outlay.
With the inclusion of the supplementary budget, the total budget size for the financial year 2025–26 has now increased to ₹8,33,233.04 crore, he said, adding that the exercise is focused on further strengthening the state’s developmental priorities.
The supplementary budget provides ₹18,369.30 crore towards revenue expenditure and ₹6,127.68 crore towards capital expenditure.
The government aims to meet immediate revenue requirements, while simultaneously boosting capital investment to strengthen infrastructure, he said.
Khanna said key sectors linked to economic growth and public welfare have been prioritised in the supplementary budget.
Provisions include ₹4,874 crore for industrial development, ₹4,521 crore for the power sector, ₹3,500 crore for health and family welfare, ₹1,758.56 crore for urban development and ₹639.96 crore for technical education.
Social and future-oriented sectors have also received focused attention. Allocations include ₹535 crore for women and child development, ₹500 crore for UPNEDA (solar and renewable energy), ₹423.80 crore for medical education and ₹400 crore for the sugarcane and sugar mill sector.
Khanna said Uttar Pradesh’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has been estimated at ₹31.14 lakh crore, higher than earlier projections.
Supplementary demand for grants is presented before the legislature when the funds approved in the annual budget fall short of actual expenditure requirements during the financial year.
Such demands also arise when new heads of expenditure are required or when significant changes in ongoing schemes necessitate legislative approval.
