Verité Research finds 40 percent of major 2025 budget promises remain unimplemented
Verité Research reported that nearly 40 percent, or 14, of 36 high-allocation 2025 budget promises were not significantly implemented.
The evaluation covered proposals allocated at least 500 million rupees each, representing a combined 212 billion rupees.
Completed proposals rose from 17 percent in 2024 to 33 percent, or 15 proposals, in 2025, marking the highest rate since monitoring began in 2017.
Overall, 41 percent were fully or significantly implemented following the budget's presentation in February. Another seven proposals, or 19 percent, remained undisclosed due to insufficient information.
