Arnab Decodes The 6 Ds Of Union Budget 2026 | Shubhranshu Singh | Nirmala Sitharaman

Arnab Goswami unpacks the "6 Ds" framework of Union Budget 2026 on Republic TV with aviation expert Shubhranshu Singh, spotlighting FM Nirmala Sitharaman's blueprint for resilient growth amid market volatility. The 6 Ds—likely Discipline (fiscal deficit at 4.3%), Development (capex surge in infra and defence), Diversification (energy shifts like cheaper CNG and Venezuela oil ties), Defence (R&D/export boosts for firms like Bharat Forge), Digital (semicon incentives), and De-clutter —signal a pragmatic pivot from populism to productivity. Singh praises how this counters US tariffs and FII outflows, fueling 7-8% GDP via MSME logistics and high-speed rails, while Arnab probes if STT hikes justify the Sensex plunge.

Shubhranshu Singh highlights aviation gains from connected supply chains and fuel cost cuts, tying into Puri's CNG vision and Kalyani's manufacturing push, as the budget prioritizes execution over giveaways. Arnab demands: Does this long-term strategy—echoing Sanyal's optimism—outweigh short-term pain? The decode reveals India's edge in global flux, with debt-to-GDP at 55.6% enabling private capex revival.

Republic TV delivers the definitive breakdown—Arnab and Singh expose why the 6 Ds make Budget 2026 a strategic masterclass.
