On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet eminent economists and sector experts to know their views on the budget and to know their views and suggestions for the upcoming budget. A senior government official gave this information on Monday. Apart from economists and sectoral experts, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Beri and other members of NITI Aayog will also attend the meeting.

The Budget 2025-26 is scheduled to be presented in Lok Sabha on February 1, 2025, by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and equity markets will function that day. Both the bourses, BSE and NSE on Monday said so. Except otherwise, the equity market has kept a holiday on Saturdays and Sundays. She will be presenting the Union Budget 2025-26.

In the past too, markets have traded on holidays on important occasions like the Budget. On February 1, 2020, and on February 28, 2015 - both Saturdays, markets had opened and Union Budgets presented. In 2001, the presentation time of Budget was changed to 11 am from 5 pm, post which the opening time of the stock exchanges has always been as on any other working day.
