Despite facing a revenue deficit of ₹31,009 crore and a fiscal deficit surpassing ₹84,643 crore, the Finance Minister prioritized the expansion of infrastructure across vital sectors such as roads, water supply, power, urban development, and public amenities.

In her second consecutive budget address, spanning 2 hours and 17 minutes, Diya Kumari unveiled various welfare initiatives targeting youth, women, farmers, marginalized communities, and senior citizens.

A notable highlight was the introduction of a Green Budget approach, allocating ₹27,854 crore for environmentally sustainable projects in urban development, energy, and agriculture. The government has also dedicated ₹10 crore for development projects per assembly constituency, plus an additional ₹5 crore for underserved desert areas.

Diya Kumari emphasized that the upcoming Barmer crude oil refinery will significantly boost the economy of western Rajasthan, with major construction nearing completion and operations slated to commence by March 2025. An announcement included a ₹1,000 crore fund for building infrastructure in eight newly formed districts, thereby enhancing administrative capabilities at the district level.

The “Clean and Green Eco Cities” initiative will launch in 15 cities—such as Bundi, Nathdwara, Mount Abu, and Jaisalmer—modeled on the Smart Cities framework, with a budget allocation of ₹900 crore.

To enhance water supply in urban and rural areas, the budget encompasses the launch of the Urban Jal Jeevan Mission and the extension of CM Jal Yojana until 2028; the provision of 2 lakh new domestic water connections under the “Har Ghar Jal” scheme; ₹425 crore for rural water supply expansion; installation of 1,000 tube wells and 1,500 hand pumps for smaller communities; and acceleration of the Ramjal Setu Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project, which has ₹9,400 crore of work already in progress with tenders issued for an additional ₹12,000 crore.

Significant energy sector announcements include increasing the free electricity provision from 100 to 150 units per month under the CM Free Electricity Scheme, aligning with the PM Surya Ghar Free Power Initiative. Additionally, free solar panels will be provided to eligible families, alongside community solar plants for those lacking rooftop access. The announcement also includes releasing 5 lakh domestic power connections and 50,000 connections for farms, as well as introducing a Rajasthan City Gas Distribution Policy to facilitate 1.25 lakh new gas connections in urban areas.

The budget outlines a major expansion of Rajasthan’s road and metro networks, with ₹12,000 crore allocated for these developments, including the construction and fortification of 9,600 km of roads. The Jaipur Metro Phase-2 (connecting Sitapura to Ambabari-Vidhyadhar Nagar) is set to begin, with a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for an extension to Vaishali Nagar and Jagatpura already in progress.

Job creation remains a priority, with plans to provide 1.25 lakh government positions and create 1.5 lakh jobs in the private sector. Additionally, 750 doctors and 1,500 nursing staff will be recruited to strengthen rural healthcare services, and preferences will be granted to retired Agniveers in the Rajasthan Police, Jails, and Forest Department, with a new Rajasthan Rozgar Policy on the horizon.

Key initiatives for women include the expansion of the Lakhpati Didi Scheme to encompass 20 lakh women and the construction of 500 Pink Toilets exclusively for women. For farmers, the budget increases the Kisan Samman Nidhi from ₹7,000 to ₹9,000, allocates ₹25,000 crore for farm loans, and raises the bonus on wheat Minimum Support Price sales to ₹150 per quintal.

The budget also allocates ₹925 crore for infrastructure improvements at religious sites, ₹101 crore for state-owned temple renovations, increased priest honorariums from ₹5,000 to ₹7,500, and boosts grants for bhog offerings from ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 per month.
