Finance Minister Diya Kumari presented the Rajasthan Budget 2026-27 on February 11, 2026, with a landmark focus on water security, renewable energy, and infrastructure development. The state's economy size is estimated to be 41.39% higher than in the previous government's final year, reflecting the government's ambitious spending plan.
On the water front, the government allocated ₹6,800 crore for the Har Ghar Nal (tap-water to every home) programme. This outlay will fund drinking water connections to 6,245 new villages and add 3 lakh new household connections across the state. Additionally, 600 new tubewells and 1,200 new handpumps will be installed to strengthen rural water access. The scheme aligns with AMRUT 2.0 (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation), the central government's flagship urban water programme. A new Rajasthan State Water Policy has also been announced to govern the long-term planning and equitable distribution of water resources across the state.
On the energy side, the budget earmarks ₹3,000 crore for setting up large-scale solar parks in Bikaner and Jaisalmer districts. These two western Rajasthan districts have among the highest solar irradiance levels in India, making them prime candidates for utility-scale solar generation. The investment is part of Rajasthan's goal to become a renewable energy hub in northern India.
For infrastructure, ₹1,800 crore has been allocated for construction of roads and bridges across the state. Fifteen new Road Over Bridges (ROBs) will be built to eliminate dangerous level crossings and ease urban and semi-urban traffic congestion.
The total budget size signals an expansive fiscal stance, with allocations spread across welfare, infrastructure, and green energy transition.
